From the experiences with the group work it is clear that there needs to be someone who organises the process and drives it. Once that has been established people are quite happy to complete their work and make their contribution. Without someone to lead the process it is inefficient and people are left wondering what to do. The same problems exist in any school and that is why we have leaders or managers of departments. It is the manager or leader who organises. They are not necessarily the most talented or skilled, but they co-ordinate the work of others to ensure that is it streamlined. Issues arise when others are not willing to follow what has been set in place, or when conflict arises between staff.
