“We don’t hire smart people to tell them what to do, we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”
– Steve Jobs
creating the right environment to grow
A key strategic role for any Chapter Lead is ensuring the companies resources are upskilled and ready to deliver to the agreed targets set by the business. To do this successfully it is far easier if the environment that they work in is designed to help them thrive. Not only do you retain the skills you need but you attract likeminded talent. There is the micro environment of your chapter, making sure they grow as a chapter through peer to peer support, and the macro environment provided by the company as a whole. As a Chapter Lead you should influence both to ensure they work in harmony together.
The following topics all sit broadly under the umbrella of building a better culture and how a Chapter Lead can help to influence it’s growth. They are not in any order of importance and there is of course, plenty of cross over between these topics and those found under Servant Leadership, they shouldn’t be viewed in isolation. If there are other topics that aren’t covered please don’t hesitate to get in touch so I can build out those too.
