Hours:8:00am - 12:00pm
Finalized time card system for tracking OL hours, sent an e-mail to all OL's letting them know what to do. Took care of some more payroll paperwork, visiting Foundation Accounts in Cleveland Hall and Brenda Marshall in res life (saw Kevin wogenrich there. small world). Finalized my "Core Team"; the OL's I will be directly supervising, then began my outreach to them by e-mail a "bio sheet" asked for basic biographical information as well as some leadership questions. Spoke with L.W. about his interest in the SPA program, and learned how Bob tracks EVERYTHING the happens with orientation in quantifiable terms - weekly numbers for every thing your could possibly imagine at his finger tips. incredible.
I've decided that I'm definitely ready to begin working with students. I understand the preparation and administrative side of things, but I'm actually really excited to start having staff meetings, collaborating on projects, and talk about programming, and build skills with students and orientation leaders.
My strategy for team building is getting buy-in; i'm asking the team members to choose our team name, and set group goals and personal goals for the summer and doing little things often, rather than rare grand gestures. I'm utilizing a qualitative leadership assessment tool authored by Tim Milburn of studentlinc (see right) I also plan on really incorporating his "Seasons of Leadership" resource (technically called "Core Leadership Training Lessons") at my fall GA in student activities in the Fall. Although, now that i think about it, since OL's are leaders too, i wonder if they go through an accelerated "Seasons of leadership" cycle...
