10 Ideas for Recruiting New Leaders.
Luther, Vicki; Wall, Milan
This booklet presents ideas based on actions taken by community leaders to recruit new and emerging leaders to join in the improvement of a community. The discussion includes: (1) asking the question "who's not here?" to make sure the community organization is representative; (2) looking for skills, not names to discover leadership potential and involve new people; (3) involvement by degrees thus creating a natural progression from helper to leader; (4) appealing to self-interests and matching recruiting style to the personal motivation of the new leader; (5) using a wide-angle lens to see how each contribution fits into the whole picture; (6) defining the task by explaining the importance of the task; (7) using current leaders to recruit new leaders; (8) creating a history of efficient use of people's time; (9) offering membership "premiums" and using rewards to overcome hesitation of potential leaders; and (10) marketing your wares and making sure that the community knows what's being accomplished.
