![Page 32: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

COMMUNICATION WITHIN your BOARD
But You Said You Would…
Dealing with the inevitable challenges and disappointments of NAWBO leadership
![Page 34: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Poll Question #4
How do you handle it when people veer off the agenda?
a. Cut them right off and tell them to bring it up later
b. Permit the discussion if it’s short.
c. Struggle and find it difficult to control the meeting
d. We don’t have that problem.
![Page 35: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How to deal with …
• Supposed to show up early to handle registration or greet people
• Didn’t write up the minutes
• No follow up with corporate sponsor
• Failed to get information on a meeting location and details
• No speaker’s bio to introduce him/her
• Pay their dues/Send a check
![Page 36: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Why They Might Not Do It …
• Responsibility. You haven’t established that you are the “authority” to ask them in the first place – or they don’t recognize it.
• Accountability. If there are no apparent consequences for NOT doing it, the project/assignment may seem to lack value
• Measurement. How will they know if they are successful? What deadlines are set?
![Page 37: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Setting Up for VOLUNTEER Success
• When making a request, try to get a firm time schedule for completion
• If a complex or especially time-consuming task, assign at least two people
• Try to get a “public” commitment
• Give a “way out” that can be taken gracefully and readily if needed
• Your techniques?
![Page 38: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Poll Question #5

in your chapter?
• New members
• Old “seasoned” members
• Corporate partners
• Board members
• Non-board members
![Page 39: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How much praise do you hand out as a leader?
• Do you recognize Board members at meetings for their contributions?
• Do you thank new members for joining a committee? Or for attending?
• Do you congratulate members for special achievements outside of NAWBO? In NAWBO?
-- It doesn’t cost a thing but means tons.

The Role of Behavioral Style
• With an Influencer, stress who else they respect/admire could be involved … and how to make it fun!

She’s nationally recognized, the media is
crazy about her, and she really likes to party!

The Role of Behavioral Style
With a Steady, emphasize how important the task is to the “team.”
Lynne, this event will help put NAWBO in a
really good light, and it will help us build
better relationships within our chapter and
the community.
• Avoid: Trying too much new too soon.
![Page 44: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Role of Behavioral Style
• With a Check-Lister, help break the task into manageable parts.
Carla, we’re going to plan the meeting in a
step-by-step way so you’ll know exactly what
to do and when.
• Avoid: Appearing unorganized.
![Page 45: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Poll Question #6

a. Groan and find someone else to do it
b. Call her privately and find out why
c. Confront her at the Board meeting
d. It doesn’t happen

![Page 46: Presidents Assembly Monthly Webinar January 19, 2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3bb1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Language to Avoid
• I’m so disappointed in you …
• You let everyone down …
• How could you forget!!
• What were you thinking, not doing it?
• You could/should have called me to let me know.
• How is this going to make us look?

Phrases to consider using …
• I understand you had the best of intentions AND (not BUT) …
• I can see that you are overwhelmed just now …However, WHO do you think could help us out …?
• I realize that you are usually right on top of things …• It was a good idea. We will plan on incorporating the

Handling Your Own Reaction
• Okay to be angry! But try to focus on the situation, NOT the person.
• Draw in your other officers and Board Members to come up with an alternative.
• Use your position power to guide you and personal power if needed.
• Remember, tomorrow is another day!
