The person in charge of a group of people may be referred to as the ‘head’ or being ‘at the helm’ in that he/she is taking charge of them, instructing, supervising, etc. If on a moving vessel, ‘at the helm’ means steering the boat/ship/yacht. Teams of players often have both a captain (who plays also) and a team manager.
