Hee, being organised, bring it on! From your posts it sounds like you're pushing for some pretty major (and important) cultural changes. Would you say the leadership style is one visionary carrying the load followed by said leader falling over in exhaustion?
My experience of working with non profits doesn't always reflect this - it also occurs to me that the WA Rogaining Association has Warren who is an acknowledged genius in the art of coordinating volunteers and in job design. WARA is very good at giving you bounded tasks that won't kill you or your happiness. This makes me think that maybe some of the more established organisations have learned that not burning out your people is critical. Then again, I don't know how/whether WARA would sustain its behaviour sans Warren.
So far my shortest definition of 'leader' is someone who carries and transmit the vision.
