District Governor Team • District Governor • 1st Vice District Governor • 2nd Vice District Governor In addition the district leadership team includes region and zone chairpersons
District Governor Teamwork The team members each have a 1 year term so the governor and vice governors are really members of a relay team. Each year one governor provides leadership and the others on the team assist in achieving the current year’s goals. Each July 1, the baton passes to the next member of the team. As Lion leaders, we are on the same team.
District Governor Teamwork Example: Divide the duty of club visits • 1st VDG visits clubs who are sponsoring a new club or requesting a program about leadership development • 2nd VDG visits clubs with retention problems • District Governor visits remaining clubs
District Governor Teamwork The district governor who delegates some tasks to other team members will have more time to manage the district, monitor achievement of goals, and provide leadership and motivation to Lions of the district.
District Governor Team An effective team is a group of people who can accomplish more working together than a group of individuals
