The management of the Brunel Solar Team is responsible for ensuring the team performs at its best so that the best solar car can be built. The management consists of three team members, each with their own set of responsibilities.
The team leader is responsible for the team itself. At the Brunel Solar Team, it is a small and close-knit team. Building such a tight team and transforming it into a race team is a core task. "How can someone get the best out of themselves? How do you align personal goals with the team’s goal? How is everyone feeling? How can we best utilize the different personalities? How do you build a real race team?" are examples of questions the team leader addresses.
Additionally, the team leader is also heavily involved in partnerships, maintaining relationships with the many partners. Together with the other two members of the management, the overall planning for the year is created.
