Now we're drifting into types of leadership (and management).
Occasions dictate that a single style of both L & M will not suffice for every situation.
I teach air cadets leadership and I use the well tried SMEAC approach: Situation, Mission, Execution, Answer questions, Check understanding. I tell them that SMEAC is applicable to almost every task in some form or another and then try to build on this by providing increasingly complex tasks. This naturally leads into the business of Task, Group and Individual needs, replanning, coping with the unexpected, motivation etc.
It can be interesting to realise that the smart, alert cadet is not always the sharpest, best motivated and resilient when the going gets tough. As somebody once said to me: 'I do my airmens (and womens) assessments on Day Four of the TACEVAL'.
