In this edition of Global Leader Radio!™, we discuss a successful approach to leading volunteer organizations. Tino Mantella joined as Alvin C. Miles’ in-studio guest to discuss the focus of TAG, the art of leading large teams and the passion of life-long learning!
Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:
- Applying business principles to non-profits equals more impact on people’s lives.
- Step outside of your comfort zone – stretch for success!
- Leading large teams of volunteers is sometimes more art than science.
- Have a desire and passion to be the best.
- Install metrics and goals to ensure your people know where they stand.
- Fail fast, learn by your experiences and keep moving forward!
- Build your resume by donating a percentage of your time in service to others!
Listen as Tino provides great examples to illustrate these points. Then add his ideas to your leadership toolkit to help increase YOUR influence. Leadership IS a conversation!
