I have been deeply committed to and done a lot of work for about 8-9 different volunteer organizations, including 2 flavours of FIRST. The management and motivational methods have always had significant differences from the management and motivational methods used in the 10-11 jobs I have had. That does not mean that many of the management and motivational methods used in the workplace are not useful in volunteer organizations.
