I don't have a LJ account but read posts from time to time. As a former SCA member, I think that you are missing a very important part. If you want to micromanage people to make sure that things are done your way, you will attract followers who tend to require lots of supervision and instruction. If you want to attract efficient leaders, you need to let them lead and do their job without getting in their way. Letting them begin something only to step in at the end because you think you can do it better only makes them not want to volunteer again. The SCA tends to have an overabundance of OCD people who just can't seem to relinquish control. It is the reason I quit the SCA because it no longer became fun when the same people were always calling the shots.
