Five Essentials for Volunteer Leaders—and why these essentials are…essential!
Tom McKee

Great volunteer teams consist of passionate people who have a focused vision, believe in their mission, and empower each other with their initiative and skill development.

As a volunteer leader, ask yourself and your leadership team these questions:
1. Passion: Are our volunteers passionate about our mission? It all starts here.
2. Focus: Is that passion focused like a laser, or unfocused like a lukewarm light bulb?
3. Strategy: Are we thinking strategically, using carefully crafted mission and vision statements?
5. Team: How are we building community among our volunteers? Do they love working with us?
6. Training: Is our training geared for the new breed of volunteers who want to do it their way?

Which of these does your team need to work on most?
