BEING A LEADER
TIPS FROM SIMON SINEK
Great leaders inspire people to act and give
people a sense of purpose or belonging
 Leaders do not have to provide a course of action
but must provide a cause of action
 Provide a feeling of “we’re in this together”
 Start with the WHY – You must know WHY you
do WHAT you do

WHAT
WHY: belief
HOW: actions you take to realize a belief
WHAT: results of those actions

4.
5.
Knowing and being able to vocalize
your WHY
Motivation and A Sense of Belonging
Offering opportunities for people to
increase their involvement (options/
levels of involvement)
Membership Appreciation
Inclusivity
1. VOCALIZING YOUR WHY
In your group,
Each person will have 30 seconds to explain why
their partner should join their club/ group or why it
is important to them
2. MOTIVATION & A SENSE OF BELONGING
To get people involved or interested, people must
feel that they are getting something.
(Growth, Recognition, Achievement, Participation,
Enjoyment, Community)
You need to figure out what people want, but can
meet some intrinsic needs in the meantime.
Idea for understanding what people want:
1. Asking directly (hopes)
2. One on Ones
3. Reflecting with current members

Develop a WHY and purpose
Make people feel important – Affirm and praise people as a
whole and as individuals
Give people credit and status for the work they do
Communicate simply, transparently and authentically to
build trust and loyalty
Consider and follow through on all members’ suggestions
Give people a strong sense of community and belonging
Use “We” statements (“I” statements for conflict)
Play up the positives and not negatives
Use members’ names and try to model inclusivity, stepping
outside of your social group and put the focus on the
individual
Be fair and consistent
3. OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVOLVEMENT


Meet people where they are
Offer many different levels of involvement
4 Useful Persuasion Techniques:
Foot-in-the-door: Ask for less, increase request
 Door-in-the-face: Ask for more, lower request
 Low-ball: getting a yes and increasing it
 Norm of reciprocity: I help you, you help me

4. MEMBERSHIP APPRECIATION
How do we create opportunities to affirm our
membership? What programs or incentives can we
provide to appreciate the work and presence of
members?
Remember:
 People need to feel important
 Give Praise
 Give People Status
5. INCLUSIVITY
INCLUSIVITY WORKSHEET
How are we being inclusive in our space?
Language? Publicity? Programs? Opportunities?
