Question:
In addition to the human relations aspect, leadership is often about managing several moving parts such as information, resources, and materials. Leaders need to create systems and structures to most effectively manage, monitor, and utilize these moving parts. Not only does this create ease in navigating structural processes, it allows the leader so spend time on more pressing needs rather than attempting to track down information, resources, and materials. Vignette Robin has been in the Non-Profit Student Association for three years now and during her last year she has offered to be the volunteer coordinator for the largest campus philanthropy event of the year. In her role, she will be coordinating more than a hundred volunteers as well as the materials that those volunteers will need: T-shirts, name tags, and event supplies.
Weeks before the event, Robin creates a spreadsheet with all of the volunteer names, their start and end times, their assignments, as well as any event supplies that they need. As the event approaches, she spends time with some of her friends sorting T-shirts into sizes by shift as well as labeling all of the supplies with volunteer names so that she could easily deploy them during the day of the event. This process also frees he up from trying to find certain-sized T-shirts or a particular name tag the day of the event. Instead, she can utilize her time to troubleshoot the check-in process.
