Circle Team Structure

Roles (multiple may be held at once & none are permanent)

Facilitator

The facilitator role should be scoped to and focused on circle and inter-circle dynamics and flows. This person acts as the de facto mediator in conflict resolution.

Representative

When interfacing with other circles and its infeasible to include the whole circle, this person(s) represents their circle and its SPIRAL. They are subsequently responsible for synchronizing with their circle.

Agent

A person(s) who utilizes SPIRAL in alignment with the circle's SPIRAL to enact and adapt to change

Role Assignment

Assignment of roles depends on the organization. In a Hierarchy Helix, roles are likely assigned by a lead. FFNs and other organizations may opt for random, ranked-choice, or volunteering as means to fill roles. Roles do not have to be filled by the same person for any length of time, and optimally are rotated amongst the circle to promote balanced skills and perspectives.
