Your pardon, my lord, but, actually, I don't agree with you either,
Leifr. I don't think that it is a necessary advantage to a group that
there be someone "in charge" *with a title* for that group to rally
around. You don't really need a titled person... teams don't. Teams have
their own identity as a team to give them cohesiveness... much like
shires have their identity as a shire. 

This ambiguous titled person might make some processes easier within a
group and could also make other processes a heck of a lot more
difficult. :-)

Some shires in Atlantia have done without them for years and seem to be
doing just fine.
