Protocol for Retiring Leads

  • This applies to anyone who has been an in-person lead for a term and goes on co-op, OR is going into 4th year, OR wants to step down

  • Please note - the point of this idea is not to trap people, it’s to reinvest in your teammates and pay forward what you have learned through your experience

  • If you are stepping away from a lead role, please stay on as a team advisor for at least 1 term

  • What is a team advisor, how much responsibility do I have?

  • Make yourself available once a week to existing team leads so they can ask for advice or suggestions on how to solve problems they are faced with

  • You are NOT responsible for the outcome, just give people advice based off of your previous experiences!

  • If you are interested doing more, participating in design reviews would also be fantastic, or hosting small tutorials on various topics of interested (i.e. altium tutorials, etc.)
