Re: I want to be an FTA
The FTA almost exclusively leads through a participative/democratic leadership style, operating as a coach of volunteers at varying levels of skill. The rare occasions I remember seeing a FTA use an authoritative style have been related to safety issues.
If you can derive personal satisfaction from seeing others be successful, delivering a successful event, and being largely in the background, you have one of the key attributes of the FTA. Alternatively, if the positional authority of the FTA fills a need for you to be "in charge," giving orders, and recognized as the singular leader, you're both likely to be disappointed in the role and unlikely to be considered.
