Hi Sky, it seems like you do not like the terminology of "managing" people. I would say that it sounds somewhat manipulative. But on the other hand, good leadership can be inspiring. It seems to me that good leadership includes showing respect for people and bringing out the best in them. Not always an easy task.

I do know that both the Girls of the USA and the Boy Scouts of America have recently changed their terminologies when it refers to their trainers ... ahem! facilitators ... and all that goes along with that.

I do not think trainers or facilitators are really very good words for leaders.

Some places they are not trainings anymore but opportunities for progressing or such.

Maybe leaders ?

As for the basics, I think they are the same: lead, follow, or get out of the way.

This is really the heart of the matter, what do this things mean. Follow or get out of the way are pretty easy, right ? It is leadership which is really rare and important to understand.
