The purpose is to see to it that there is an individual who is deemed
ultimately responsible. If there is a group with no leader, there is
no-one to chase when things go wrong. Any co-operative effort needs
co-ordination or it will fall apart. [When things are working well, the
co-ordinator may not need to do anything, of course, but things do not
always work well.]
Why do you disagree?
