Tip of the Week How
to Use the Competent Leader Manual (2/20/08) Read
the entire manual through one time. It will take you about an hour to skim it.
This step will really help you understand how the manual works. Compare
the functionary assignments that you receive from the VPE with the manual. When
you can match an assignment to a project in the manual, re-read the project. Check
"Practice in your Club" on pages 67-75 for additional tips on acting
as a functionary. Bring your manual to the meeting
and ask your mentor or another member to evaluate your performance. Show them
the section in the manual that pertains to what you are doing. When you complete all the assignments
in a project, show your manual to the VPE or another officer to have it signed.
A
couple of important points It is
not necessary to finish your Competent Communicator manual before starting on
the Competent Leader manual. You can work in both at the same time. It
is not necessary to finish one project before working on the following projects.
You can work on the projects and sub-projects in any order.
The
Competent Leader manual is another great resource provided by Toastmasters International
to help you reach your goals in life. Take advantage of it. |
