typically second nature for us. What can get complicated is the interpersonal relationships with the other instructors. Will they trust you are sending them a student that will fi t into their class? How will you build that trust? Will the guest be bombarded with the same questions again for the third time and lose trust in the process? How can the team best support itself to satisfy the original goal? Using leadership skills to help forge a team with good interpersonal relationships is time well spent.
USE YOUR RESOURCES AND LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES TO BUILD A FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS.
WITH PRACTICE, LEADERSHIP SKILLS GEL T is framework can be helpful with any group project, especially when time is valuable. It’s important to apply the GRPI model in the beginning of the project,
especially if you’re working with a new team. T e plan within the model can be revisited or adjusted if there is a need to refocus eff orts. For instance, if a need arose to change the questions that the other members of the team were asking the guests, the GPRI model represents a means to help facilitate that. Learning how to become a strong leader and inspire others takes time, practice, some good mentors, and the desire to continue learning and be better at it. T e next time you are voluntold to lead a project, use this tool or seek out another that will help anchor what you’re trying to accomplish. Use your resources and learn from your mistakes to build a foundation of success.
My fi rst experiences in a leadership position were defi nitely an adventure, but
I learned a lot about myself and grew to enjoy the opportunity to work with instructors who are stoked about their sport and love to share it with others… even on powder days.
