Shelley on your Shoulder - Teams #5 - Volunteer Teams

We wrap the Teams series by challenging the story that volunteer teams are too busy for the basics of good team leadership. We break down what volunteers really want from the trade-off they are making and share practical tools to build trust, motivation, and accountability without being heavy-handed.

Key topics:

  • Define and review key assumptions about volunteer teams

  • The right balance between volunteer ‘busyness’ and team business

  • Quid pro quo of volunteering and the 4 core motivations for volunteering

  • 3 common problems with volunteer teams

  • 4 tools to balance busyness with effective business that turns into results

If you lead volunteers in a nonprofit, school, faith community, or workplace committee, this is a playbook for volunteer management, volunteer engagement, and accountability that people actually accept. Subscribe, share this with a fellow volunteer leader, and leave a review. What motivates you most when you volunteer?

It’s been said that Drew is a bit crazy. It’s probably true. (Well, OK, it’s a certifiable fact.) That said, when people think that of you, you can get away with a whole lot more. And maybe it takes a little bit of crazy to come up with outside the box ideas. That’s exactly what Drew’s done for more than 30 years in the podcasting, marketing, branding and advertising space. He gets it. For any creative to work, no matter how outside the box, it needs to be true to the core values of a business or its owner. At LeftBrainRightBrain, we call it being logically creative. It’s our secret sauce.
