  15. Group Leadership Understand your members in the context of the groups they are in. Every group is different and in a different state of readiness As a leader your job is to: - resolve a problem or conflict - get the group to do something you want them to do - get the group to set and achieve a goal

  16. Every situation you find your group in will be different. Is the group willing or unwilling, prepared or unprepared?

  17. Your Leadership Role will vary depending on your group If your group is ready and willing Assure the group of your trust. Help the group to define the problem or and to set realistic goals. Be a resource person and provide feedback. Delegate to more than one in the group. Be patient.

  18. If your group is willing but not ready Be a facilitator Be supportive Draw out ideas from group Teach skills Establish a trusting atmosphere Listen actively and provide feedback Help group devise strategies Participate where appropriate

  19. If your group is ready but not willing Communicate well Justify ideas Motivate Anticipate reactions Assess needs of the members Be assertive but fair Act decisively and quickly

  20. If your group is neither ready nor willing Work on their readiness first Will take a lot of motivating on the leader’s part Try to catch individual members being good

  21. Getting Others to Follow Mission: what is our group all about? Vision: what do we want our group to be? System:what must our group do to get us there? Values: what principles will guide our group? Motivation: how do I help our group get there?

  23. 5. Develop a plan of action – with your agent, leader, etc. – “What do you want to do?” 6. Action – conduct or lead the activity chosen. 7. Ask someone to observe you in your leadership role in relation to the skills you are working on. 8. Evaluate.
