Leaders are Teachers

Being a leader of volunteers is about more than just building a team and making things happen. Leaders have the responsibility to teach others. In fact, leaders are often teaching through their actions, even if they don’t realize it:

Leaders teach their team how to bring volunteers together to accomplish something bigger than themselves.

Leaders teach their team how to accept people where they are at and build them up.

Leaders teach their team that people are more important than the tasks.

The opposite of this is that your leadership is teaching your team to have their own agenda.

The opposite of this is that your leadership is teaching your team to value tasks above people.

The opposite of this is that your leadership is teaching your team to treat people like interchangable cogs.

Consider yourself – what are your actions teaching to those you lead?
