To build a team, you need most of all, to develop leaderships skills. And the number one skill is good communication. A leader needs to have the ability to influence and motivate others.
Learn to speak effectively. Face to face, your non verbal communications are more important than even what you say. Be aware of your eye contact and gestures. Do you have confident body language?
Remember that communication is two-way. Listen and observe body language. Ask questions. Try to really understand. Give feedback. You need to build that relationship to inspire trust and confidence. Remember you are leading volunteers, not employees. They need to want to work with you and follow you.
Writing is important too. You will want to teach your group and communicate your vision. Much of that will be written. You need to communicate your plans for the future.
Peter Drucker once said, "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." And one of those right things is learning to communicate your ideas and persuade people to follow you. Good leadership means good communication.

 | | I agree with all you've written in this enlightening blog. Amazingly, when we truly listen, repeat back what we heard, ask questions that relate to the conversation and supply value, leadership will often come effortlessly. You're a leader in your own right Sylvia. This blog is a gem! |
| | |  | | | |  | | Hi Sylvia - the art of communication is incredibly important to leadership and management of people. If it is not clear and articulate the meaning is lost. I remember an old joke - the order was "Send reinforcements, we are going to advance", which due to poor communication became "Send 4 and six pence we're going to a dance". TB&L for you. |
| | |  | | What a nice article Sylvia.
We all should keep on learning, it's the only way to be a good leader. thanks for this blog post. |
| | |  | | Very good blog and important advice. It takes self-development to reach some of your higher goals and achievements and good communication is valuable. Wish you much success. |
| | |  | | This goes further than many people understand. There are times when you have to let people know what is expected of them. It has to be put across in a way they don't feel pressured. The second volunteers feel pressure they start backing off. |
| | |  | | Silvia thank you so much for sharing this is really great advice and will be sure to put this into practice. Success to you. |
| | |  | | That is true, and I am always working on my communication skills. |
| | |  | | Great blog Sylvia. Good advise. thanks for sharing. |
| | |  | | Without communication, there is no leadership! |
| | |  | | Great Blog!..Hope to see more. |
