Building a Team

With encouragement and motivation, Leos can work together as a single unit. Understanding why young people join a Leo club is helpful to building a team. Some of the main reasons for joining a club include:

• Serving the community
• Belonging to an active youth group
• Making new friends
• Developing leadership skills
• Completing required community service hours for graduation

Teamwork is important for success of your Leo club. To foster teamwork, Leo leaders can begin by:

• Establishing club goals
• Explaining overall tasks to everyone involved
• Assigning specific tasks to individuals
• Encouraging members to support the efforts of other Leos
• Encouraging an open exchange of ideas, including contrasting views

To increase the closeness of club members, Leo leaders can:

• Look for ways to increase the satisfaction that Leos receive from their efforts
• Reward individual Leos for their contributions
• Look for ways to increase the prestige of the club
• Find ways to increase interaction between Leo club members
• Celebrate successful Leo projects
