QUOTE

"If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him-speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents.

I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none.

If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.“

SESSION 1

Putting Up Numbers Delivering Results

What’s important to you when you work a task? Are you provided a PoP? How do you know when you are complete? How does your effort feed into earned value, cost,

schedule? Own Your Stuff

What happens when you get stuck? How do you deal with team ownership? What do you do when overwhelmed? How do you convince other overwhelmed people to

assist you?

If you say you will do it, then do it.          

SESSION 1

Relationship Example

SESSION 1

LDP Myths and Truths Ques 1 – Is relocation a requirement of LDP?

Ques 2 – Can I get the same benefits without being in LDP? (Career Growth, Training, Opportunities)

Ques 3 – I’ve heard that managers don’t like LDP’ers. They get trained then leave. They only work tasks that they get awards for.

Bottom line, if you want the real scoop, talk to an LDPer.

         

LEADERSHIP SHOULD BE BORN OUT OF THE

UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEEDS OF THOSE WHO

WOULD BE AFFECTED BY IT.

~Marian Anderson

SESSION 2

Develop the Intangibles  Leading Volunteer Organizations

If you can lead here…you can lead anywhere How do you motivate people who don’t work for

you? Come in on weekends Pick up trash on the side of the road Serve others who can never repay you

Make it fun and rewarding Get buy in and leverage ideas from volunteers Have structure, order, and a routine that makes

sensehttp://

SESSION 2

The real point of networking and mentoring Mentoring

Making an investment in others Leveraging your own personal experience and learning

and developing someone else Taking your hard knocks and tough lessons and

preventing someone form having to repeat your mistakes

Its not about you, its about them Networking

Finding a sincere way to offer, follow up, and provide an investment in a stranger through a new relationship

Putting people together who have a common goal, common bond, weakness or strength
