7 essential behaviors of a volunteer leader


Choose a positive attitude
We cannot always control what happens to us
in life, but it is our choice how we respond.
Viktor Frankl an Austrian neurologist and
psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor
said, The last of our human freedoms is to
choose our attitude in any given
circumstance.
Remember the people around you will mirror
your attitude.

Be others focused
For even the Son of Man came not to be served
but to serve others and to give his life as a
ransom for many. Mark 10:45
So he got up from the table, took off his robe,
wrapped a towel around his waist,

and poured
water into a basin. Then he began to wash the
disciples feet, drying them with the towel. John
13:4,5
The best way to create an environment where
people willingly follow your leadership is to let
them know that your #1 priority is to help them. -
Tony Dungy
Pray for your team before, during and after
camp.

Be encouraging
To encourage means to express enthusiastic
confidence in another's ability to accomplish
something or prevail under difficult
circumstances.
Exceptional Leaders know that how and what
they communicate impacts others either
positively or negatively. Choose positive!
Do you declare the possibilities for others,
envisioning a successful future for them?
Be intentional and authentic with your
encouragement.
Look for opportunities to speak life into others.
Listen more, talk less
There are two reasons for listening, to connect
with people and to learn something.
Everyone has a story and they want you to hear
it.
When you listen, pay attention to both the factual
and emotional content of what is being said.
Wisdom is the reward you get from a lifetime of
listening when youd rather have talked.- Doug
Larson
I have to admit, Ive never learned anything
when I was talking. Paul Emmett
Practice and improve communication
skills
If a leader cant get a message across clearly
and motivate others to act on it, having a
message doesnt even matter.
Credibility precedes good communications.
First, believe what you say.
Second, live what you say.
Three keys to improving communication skills

Be a good follower
Biblical examples:
Joshua followed Moses for more than forty years
before he led the children of Israel into the
promised land.
Elisha served Elijah for ten years before he took up
his masters mantle and went on to perform even
more miracles.
The Apostle Peter followed Jesus for three years
and made a lot of mistakesbefore he and his
fellow-disciples turned the world upside down.
Jesus - O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup
pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as
You will. Matthew 26:39 NKJV
