Leadership of Volunteers
The accompaniment of volunteers is, more than with a usual working relationship, based on equivalence and respect. Of volunteers you have to have it and one of the most important things is that they feel valued. That sometimes makes driving difficult. As a supervisor you see things sometimes go wrong and then adjust and give feedback important. But how do you do that right? And how do you motivate them to give them honesty when they encounter something? What are the techniques to ensure that the volunteer improves his working habits in the eyes of himself and the organization?
In The training leadership Volunteers teach you what motivates you, what style of leadership you have and how you can monitor and improve the quality of volunteer work. In addition to the correct forwarding of volunteers, encouraging desired behaviour is very important. Because appreciation for volunteers is not expressed in money, a pat and personal attention should not be lacking. With the knowledge you get in the training you better choose which style you approach a volunteer and what instruments you use.
During the training, the following topics are covered:
Be aware and dwell on the needs of volunteers and become aware of your own influence on them. How do you express your appreciation for them?
As a manager and coordinator it is your task to unite organizational chairs, team goals and individual goals. How do you currently carry out the themes of the Teameffectiviteitsmodel, which would you be able to carry out even more and how could you do that?
Communicate optimally with volunteers through situational leadership. Switch between lead, supervise, coach and delegate, depending on the volunteer standing in front of you.
Who are you as manager or coordinator? What is your preferred style to accompany? We practice with different influence styles and skills.
Ask questions, listen, summarize, show empathy, reflect, give feedback, motivate and give confidence. By using the CAD model you can learn to connect, connect and address
What tensions do you experience? How do you go about this? We are going to brainstorm about difficult and challenging situations, such as dealing with resistance, absence, not fulfilling appointments, too much your own way out as a volunteer, not being instructed and engaging in behaviour.
Know your own "iceberg" as a manager or coordinator. Your standards and values strongly influence the way in which you control and supervise a volunteer.
What kinds of reactions can you give on exciting situations? How can you put volunteers in their power?
Appointable behavior. What is the effect on you, the team and the Organization, formulated from yourself.
Your main task is to realize plans. By setting goals you can steer the behavior of volunteers, where formulating good goals is important and meaningful. What are the objectives to meet?
How does it give warnings, take notes and finally say goodbye to a volunteer in case of non-functioning?
