I'd like to add a bit of my voice about the teams and members of teams in light of what BenRG said. It can be said that while RWBY and JNPR aren't exactly political, as of now, their members are still colored by their walks of life.

For example, the obvious contrast of Weiss and Blake is a conflict of a Conservative and a Radical, even though neither is a standard example of their "side", with Weiss being open-hearted and powerful enough to afford being magnanimous, with Blake being reluctant and well-meaning. Less blatant, is that Ruby's hero worship (keyword - hero) makes her both aspire to greater heights and inspire others in process... While Yang isn't letting herself being shackled by the conventions (even in Junior's bar where the convention is not pissing the guy in charge and picking a fight with him).

In a way, members of team RWBY are the shining examples of the best and the brightest their walks of life could have offered. This unfortunately makes them suffer, IMO, from the "if something looks too good to be true, it usually isn't" phenomenon. On their own, they can't become true leaders... But as Ruby has no issues with delegating, and she already has her team, it has a good chance of working out fine for her.
