I do not really see "team leader" as much more than a title. That does 
not mean I do not value your work though. Of course in certain 
situations the team leads could (and maybe should) just decide on what 
to do on their own, but apart a "team lead" isn't much different from a 
normal developer, IMHO.

On the other hand seeing that there are people who care less and others 
who care more it might make sense to use "team leads" as position for 
certain members, but in general I do not feel a real need to do so.

I doubt that would change when we call another one or more people "team 
leads" though. :-)
