"Before anything else, preparation is the key to success."
A TeamCoOrdinator is much like a party planner. If the work is done properly in advance, the event goes forward with great success. This really helped me to develop better habits at it related to my personal committment and contributions to my Team.
I used to believe that I was a better Member when I was not serving in Leadership. I now believe that was an excuse for poor time management and preparation. By admitting this and utilizing the expanded vision provided by Leadership positions, I now find myself contributing better and more-frequent referrals and value.
I have also witnessed several teammates experience growth and success by contributing in Leadership roles that may have been, at first, uncomfortable.
We are all in the same room, but our views are all from a different angle. We can all contribute greatly from our varying perspectives.
