Would you be open to numbering the ideas, purely for easier reference in comments?
I haven’t read the rest yet, but in regard to your first idea, I stumbled on a similar one – someone needs to be ‘the dictator’. (I like that term better as, historically, there were benevolent dictators, but I believe ‘tyrants’ were always terrible!) This is definitely true, at least sometimes, for children, particularly those younger than teenagers. But it turned out to also be a good rule/framing for nearly any group project – who is both ‘ultimately’ responsible and thus endowed with final executive decision-making abilities? (And also, who should be expected to follow-up with everyone else in the group about their progress on delegated tasks or sub-projects?)
