I have spent most of my fansubbing career working under another group. Although for the most part it was the staff (usually the translators) that would tell that 'figurehead' what series' they wanted to work on, some of the projects were picked up, I believe, because the 'figurehead' wanted to work on them.

At one time, there were already a number of projects, some of which had already gotten close enough to being lost in time (and such that even to announce that the group was going to pick up another series, there was quite a lot of staff saying "What, another series?"). Despite that, the 'group' suddenly picked up a number of new projects all at the same time.

Also, about promises. The 'figurehead' would often try to push the idea that things would still keep moving and certain things would get finished by a certain time. More often than not, while I was there, the 'figurehead' never actually pulled through until much, much later.
