NEC Training Day, Sunday 19 February 2012

Team working and being a leader amongst volunteers.

Introduction;

Have you found yourself in a team and felt completely clueless as to what to do next?  The chair that happens to be your best friend hides at their parents and is very frightened. They can be seen mumbling jelly for five minutes on a group night.

Have you been elected Leader, have ideas that will change the world and yet your team fails to deliver and make it happen?

Do you have a friend in your group or team, been there, done that and it was better last time?

Are you leading a team of volunteers where everyone is twenty years older than you?

How do you harness the creativity of a group? Is it better than individual thinking?

This session is for you whether in a team of volunteers or in a work environment, Francis Wallington and a team of experienced Plussers will guide you on leading a team, keeping it happy and ensuring success.
