Are you good enough to be part of the next Leadership Team?

23/5/10

I know we are only seven weeks into the current term but choosing our next teams will be upon us before we know it and a comment I heard, just the other day, by a member got me thinking!

What they said was how pleased they were not to be asked to take a place on the current team. Not just the Leadership Team but any position at all! Now I don’t know about you, but if I wasn’t considered for a place on the team I would be, well, pretty upset, that both the outgoing and incoming teams didn’t think me good enough to help the chapter in going forward. What would that say about me as a member?

So, rather than thinking you ‘got off’ by not being asked to be on the team, instead wonder why you weren’t considered good enough to be part of the team. What is stopping you from being looked at as a great member?

Do you contribute enough? Go to training? Help in the group? Arrive on time? Are you a positive member? Look the part? Do you really ‘get’ BNI?

So, being asked to be on the Leadership Team means that you are thought of as a great member of your chapter. Someone that can be trusted and relied upon, someone who is more likely to be thought of by fellow members, and BNI Directors, when they are out talking to their contacts, which in turn will lead to more opportunities.

In seven weeks time the next Leadership Teams will start to be planned, which means that every one of us has plenty of time to make sure that we are good enough to be considered for that next team.

And, guess what? If we are all great members, imagine what that will do to our chapters and the amount of business that every one of us will receive!
