To boss or not to boss, that is the question

Haha. I wish I could write a more poetic title. Something less crude.
But I've just been reflecting on my own leadership style and contributions to music teams.

I think I am not a natural 'leader'. I prefer not to take charge of EVERY work/ministry situation I am in. In fact, most of the time, if you need to me to do something specific, I'll do it without to many questions asked, or disagreements. Because I have found questions/ disagreements futile in many situations [particularly in life-groups, bands and worship teams]. Why?

1. People might not have the musical/adminstrative ability to do what you would prefer them to do
2. People might have be stuck in that groove for the past 10 years. To change it will take more than 1-2 practices
3. I'm not in a position of a authority to change anything. So just do what the leader says.
4. People might not particularly welcome a new person overhauling everything. 

Musical arrangements, or administrative plans can range from slipshod+general, to VERY detailed. With my own backing bands and songs, I pull things apart and direct in DETAIL, almost to the point of mania. Sometimes to helm something is very tiring. But with my own stuff, it comes naturally because of that strong sense of ownership. 

But what about things you didn't write and what if the plan wasn't your idea? With the current worship project I'm involved in, my producer is the best. There is space to offer opinions [because you know the team cares about it, and so does the producer] and the recognition of our specific abilities [what I actually can or cannot do]. In such an environment, there is a beautiful balance of someone telling you what to do, but also the opportunity to direct the details and make it 'your own' in many ways. THAT is an ideal team, ideal leader, and ideal working environment.
