Learn and Lead: 4 Keys to Keeping Network Leaders Moving
The Challenge:
How can a network leader keep their growing network’s leaders and work teams on task and fulfilling their commitments without micromanaging?
Why is this issue such a challenge for networks?
- As the reach and size of a network expands, the task moves beyond the core team into distributed working teams. Commitment, focus and progress can dissipate as distance, complexity and communication becomes more challenging.
- Network leaders bring different levels of availability, commitment, passion and skill to their roles.
- Many networks are composed of volunteers with day jobs or share resource people with other ministries.
- Remote work teams face additional challenges caused by isolation, distance, unclear or changing objectives and reduced access to information.
