Leadership development is a process.
Organizers identify individuals with leadership potential, determine self-interest, identify leadership opportunities in the organization, and encourage and support them through involvement in campaigns and other work of the organization. Leadership development is what follow-up from a one on one looks like once you’ve successfully moved a person to action.
The resource below outlines three critical conversations for leadership development:
- Matching self-interest with a role: Assessing motivation, creating roles, and connecting opportunities
- Development Conversation: Recognizing a job well done and identifying new opportunities
- Critical Conversation: Recognizing a lack of follow through and revisiting motivation
