Table 3.3 Roles within a Team Structure Leader/Coordinator The leader is responsible for calling group meetings, handling or assigning administrative details, planning team activities, and overseeing preparation of reports and presentations. Observer/Summarizer This individual is responsible for observing the operation of the group and summarizing key issues. Data Gatherer Devil's Advocate Recorder This individual or group of individuals is responsible for gathering data needed for the team to accomplish its goals. Data gathering is typically ac- complished between team meetings. It may take the form of gathering quan- titative data or may consist of qualitative observations, and the like. Having a devil's advocate on the team is useful in probing and evaluating the work of the team. Formal recognition and use of this role turns what might be perceived as a negative contribution into a positive and important part of the total group effort. The recorder writes down the group's decisions and edits the group's report.
