As a business owner with no employees, I don’t have the opportunity to practice my leadership skills nearly as often as I used to. In fact, it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve managed any staff.
Now that I’ve taken over the position of President of my Sherwood Rotary Club, I’m sure I’ll be facing leadership challenges again. Fortunately, our club already has a culture of strong member participation. Several members are also Past Presidents, so I have a solid support structure to help with any difficult issues that may arise. The membership seems to know what their individual strengths are, and they’re willing to use those strengths for the benefit of the club.
I believe my main job is to serve the Board and the general membership in helping the club achieve our goals in all the areas that we’ve stated, to help make our meetings fun and educational, and to promote a positive image in the community for Sherwood Rotary.
