Running a team is a real challenge. So sometimes, Something is happening, that our once dynamic team begins to fall apart. Members are leaving- fortress, that nothing is happening and a team (and the whole frame) he just refuses.
Imagine, that we are building a house. This house is your team. We play the role of an architect and at the same time the builder, to assess the situation in which we are and take all actions, so that our building would not fall.
You are the foundation.
If the foundation is weak- The whole building will fall underground. So let's focus on you. Whether scouting gives you joy and fulfillment? Does being a leader limit you? Or maybe you're just tired? I have raised this topic before, zerknij więc do artykułu “Ognisko też się kiedyś wypala”.
If you want to rebuild your team, You have already made the first step. The foundation strengthens. You are or you will be strong. Sit down, rest, arrange everything in your head. We continue to build in a moment.
Bet a skeleton.
On this solid foundation, You must now put the skeleton. It is your staff. They support you in tasks and achieve your goals- Adjusted relieve you of the sheer volume of duties and they keep the hosts in a compact group of your pupils. So invest in them! Meet from time to time at the collection of a substitute, Ask how they are, Supervise the attempts and do not forget- From their perspective, they are building a house- a host which they are a pillar. Take care of the replacement, Let your own ideas develop and let you enjoy working with friends, But don't forget about it, to organize something for them.
Take care, so that the roof does not leak.
Maybe it is not quite architecturally correct, But we are building a roof now. Oh well, Nobody speaks, that we are great builders, True? 😉
I call your knowledge and experience. Just like a holes in a holes at home, Yes, your lack of knowledge and experience will affect the whole of your team. How this part is different from the first point? Foundation, it as a person, Your motivations, the, dreams, willingness. Once you get it and your staff, Go to the team course. Darget the holes in your instructor education. Get a degree, Read books. Your scout development is necessary to properly take care of your pupils.
Put the walls.
Ok. Now it's time for less active actions. Thanks to this, that we already have a good foundation and the skeleton keeps us a roof, now let's build the walls, which is a work plan.
The work plan gives the shape of your business. It gives a view on how a scout year will look like, and at the same time he covers with all others, what's inside, what they only know when they cross the threshold of our house (what is there, we will discuss later).
Notice, that just like the walls, The plan can be embellished. Consider, Do not introduce any plot- This is just a decoration and affects well -being.
However, don't forget to think about the final placement of windows and doors anymore. We'll take it for them soon.
Congratulations! House built! But we didn't really mean it ... Everything is ok, But you feel, that it is somehow ... cold. Hollow. Impersonally.
Open the door- Organize recruitment!
Characteristic of teams that decline, There is a lack of people in the team. Often, A closed group of mutual adoration is formed from the other people. They are good in their own sauce and they do not see the need for change. But you are a team. You know, that to develop, You need fresh air, and above all- guests, who will come, will bring life to the empty walls and, who knows? Maybe they'll stay longer?
Good recruitment is the basis. Zerknij proszę do artykułu Jak zorganizować nabór do zastępu? Wprawdzie jest kierowany do zastępowych, But maybe you should not take care of bringing new people? After all, the door for the door is ultimately formed when erecting pillars and walls, not the foundation ...
Heat in the fireplace
Imagine, that you are sitting in a comfortable armchair. A flame is dancing in the fireplace and a pleasant warmth spreads around the house ... The atmosphere makes, that you want to stay here forever ...
It must be in the team. What do you, that you will recruit, If none of the current scouts will accept new people? Why do you need your knowledge and action plan, If the team is cold and enemy? Who the staff will command, If the group does not cooperate? The climate of the team depends on its members. This is the final test, Is everything as it should. If something in the fireplace will fail, This is your whole job will go with smoke. You will stay with the foundation again. Cracked, leaking.
Friendship, willingness to experience adventures together, laughter, Joy but also sorrows and failures. It's all part of the house you create. So the question will appear- Will new scouts find strength with you, to overcome the latter? If you let, to freeze- They will come out with this door, which you can't close. This is a factory defect, Unfortunately, it cannot be changed. The wind will still and will still be exploding, rain, Sometimes an intruder will appear. But if you watch the fire, Nobody will even feel the need to leave your four walls. They will sit with you at the fireplace and, The most beautiful, They will add a few wood to him.
Your home is solid. He is wonderful. Over the years, You embellish it more and more. You are proud of the work that you all put into the whole building process. You are strong by the strength of your scouts. But now ...
Look through the window.
From time to time, get away from the fireplace. Don't worry, You won't be cold. And even if, then you have a place to come back. Look through the window. Look around and see other houses on the horizon. How they look? Is it a magnificent villas, with beautiful gardens, great fountains? Or maybe decaying houses, which will fall apart any moment? Do not close yourself in your own four walls. Help others. Visit not only magnificent buildings, but also tiny huts. See "the largest" which makes them stand out. Learn something new. And as soon as you encounter a empty redhead, enter, Say hello and help in reconstruction. At first you thought you were alone. Maybe your hand is missing in this house?
