  1. Whatis LEADERSHIP? • According to Wikipedia: • Leadership is described as “a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task“. Or a simpler definition: • Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal"

  2. Whyisitso important for ASHRAE? • Organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal: ASHRAE is a group of more than 50,000 people, gatheredto advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. Leadership is what drives the ASHRAE organization!

  3. The key note of Leadership • By definition, a committeecannotbe one personalone, hence the importance of team work. Effective team work relies on: • Motivation • Communication • Delegation

  4. Motivation • You don’t actually “motivate” people… they motivate themselves… • BUT you can create a climate where they will perform by effective communication and delegation

  5. Communication • Target the members you want to volunteer • A general announcement in the newsletter or an email rarely gets folks to step up and volunteer • Draw a list of people who should be volunteers • Use phone call, or personal visit to explain why candidate was selected & why it is important that they serve • Make sure everyone on your team understands commitment and responsibilities

  6. Delegation • In order to carry out your leadership position within CTTC, there are threeimportant elements that must be kept in mind: • Aptitude • Accountability • Goal

  7. Delegation: Aptitude • Make sure the volunteer CAN do the assignment. • Pick the right people for the right tasks. • Train/coach if you have to. • Make sure everyone understands its commitment and responsibilities.

  8. Delegation: Accountability • When you task someone, make sure they know that they are in charge of finishing it • “Bob, you have everything you need to get this done, right? Alright… you are the man! This thing is YOUR baby!” • Create expectations based on your trust of the volunteer

  9. Delegation: Goal • Clarify expectations • Provide context • Think ‘big picture’ • Don’t assume they know the purpose… be abundantly clear.

  10. Delegation: Goal • When you ask for volunteers: be specific • “Hey Bob, I’d like you to be on the Chapter Technology Transfer Committee, you’d be working with John, Betty and Biff. We actually want you to be our Refrigeration chair and organize 3 events related to refrigeration this year… It could be dinner meetings, technical tours, etc.”

  11. What not to do • Motivation: • Nagging (we are all volunteers!) • Communication: • Not taking the time to explain in detail what are the job requirements • Downplay the job requirements or time commitment involved • Delegation: • Not being clear about the goal that is to be achieved • Micromanage (delegate the result, not the way to achieve it)
