How to Recruit and Develop a Volunteer Team

Kelly Stickel

Parallel Leaders Podcast | Episode 016

If you are a volunteer-based organization, you understand the value and importance of effective recruitment and development of your volunteers. But if you’re like most leaders, you also know how tricky it can be to onboard and equip people for your teams.

“Great leaders want the people in their span of care to gain competence and experience so that they may one day lead. I would often tell my junior officers that they had to be willing to accept what I call the irony of leadership; if you do your job correctly, you will work yourself out of a job. Great leaders build other leaders.’

former Navy Seal commander Rich Deviney
