Prime Mover

Prime mover:

A prime mover (prime moo·vur) is a headmate whose role is to direct and develop any specific project the system is working on, be it occupational, academic, recreational, etc. They consider making progress on this project a priority, and may front (or encourage/delegate others) to work on it, practice skills related to it, research information pertaining to it, and so on. The project may also be a goal, such as to improve at art or cooking. It may be any objective that is collectively important to all or most of the system. Once the project has been completed to a degree the prime mover deems satisfactory, they may or may not move on to a different one.
