Lead, follow or get out of the way

I have been spending more time with the cadet group lately.  I am limiting my involvement to planning a couple of events a year, but it is very hard for me to sit on the sidelines when I know I can help with other efforts as well.  It is also really difficult for me to keep my mouth shut when I see the staff making questionable decisions.  But, I am learning how to be a good follower, not a role I am accustomed to.
