Whether you consider the military, crisis situations, jobs, organizations, or families, hierarchies of responsibility set groups of people up for success. They serve to focus the efforts of many on achieving one common goal. They help to minimize distractions and disagreements that subvert victory.

Some designate a team leader or captain to coordinate those various jobs and roles. You can be as strategic about your team and play as you’d like. We hope our Goonies-inspired look at team roles and responsibilities has motivated you to use the strengths of your teammates to your best advantage.
