In my mind, having a "leader" type character like Kit that, while created and belonging to one writer (TTT), can be used by any member to give out missions, jobs, or what have you is a necessary evil. As financial advisor, Kit could just hire people as a "financial advisory" to the members of the team. Thing is, there's too much dissention between our characters to ever get a consensus vote on anything. And that makes it necessary for Kit to take a leadership role.
