A large part of leadership and management theory certainly still applies, but there are subtle differences to the relationship dynamic, motivational factors, interpersonal comms, and a few other bits and bobs.
I usually use the whole “when I say jump you say…” and instead of either “how high?” or just starting jumping, the response from a volunteer is more likely to be “why?”.
Can’t quantify but it, I’d say a large part of the forum discussions revolve around “why this or that”, which somewhat bears this out.
In this organisation (at least) that’s a response that perm staff and even some more senior volunteers can’t understand and are never prepared for - I rarely get a sufficient answer to anything I challenge. With the big push in the RAFAC to mirror certain aspects of the parent force, and with the RAF’s prominent disruptive thinking initiatives, I’m yet to see any similar effort to encourage such in the RAFAC.
