Reading Four Question...

process, team and roles: from Reading#4:
i understand that through a firm or company, titles and hierarchy are given to certain personnel when it comes to teams, but when working in groups in class or within a group of peers, what's the best, easiest, least controversial way to select a leader and other numerous roles? volunteer? or voting? or...er..? it feels like any way other than assigned by an outsider, would, could and probably will create tension amongst teammates...so someone, do tell.

good question... I think in some cases this can be a sticky situation, however, in a classroom setting, these rolls tend to work themselves out as the class gets to know eachother...people begin to stick out as leaders and others keep quite, knowing they either need to produce work that speaks for its self or they need to speak up/out to be seen/heard. That is so tricky however, when trying to organize things without a previously appointed leader/teacher/boss...hmmm
