23.01.2022 In continuation with our District Leadership Team (DLT) Series, our Club Growth Director (CGD), Namrita Anchan, tells us what she's looking forward to in her new role. "I learned about the 3As during the Toastmasters International District Leadership Training that took place recently. I believe that if I am able to learn the 3As as D73 CGD, and help my leadership team adapt these too, it will serve as one of my biggest learning experiences.... The role of CGD is one of the most interesting roles as one needs to focus on the details while planning the big picture. Therefore, in the next couple of months my plan is to create a core big picture for our leaders (that is, CGD Extended Team & Area Directors) to serve their clubs better, resulting in growth across the District. One of my major focus areas is setting clear expectations for our Team Chairs as this goes a long way in building a strong and dynamic team."

21.01.2022 Why Do Good Leaders Set Goals? We all know that setting goals is important. Any success story begins with a plan or a blueprint, outlining what one wants to achieve and how they plan to do it. Essentially, that means setting goals....

This is especially true for someone in a leadership position because they don't just have to stay the course themselves but also keep their team motivated. Here are 6 reasons why good leaders set goals Thoughts? What has been your No. 1 reason to set goals? #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leaders #leadershipskills #district73toasmasters #whereleadersaremade
