This session was recorded at NHPCO’s Volunteer Leadership Virtual Conference on July 30, 2012.
Join Tom McKee, a leading volunteer management consultant, for the opening plenary session of NHPCO’s Volunteer Leadership Virtual Conference “Ignite the Future!” From Tom’s perspective: “Volunteerism is hot. From American Idol, Disneyland, Glee, Lady Gaga, President Obama to Wells Fargo, Intel and Wal-Mart, giving back is the rage.” He poses two critical questions to frame his presentation:
- How do we take advantage of this trend?
- How do we mobilize the passion and power of a whole new breed of volunteers?
To answer these important questions, Tom believes we need a 21st Century leadership strategy that responds to six tectonic shifts that are changing volunteerism, including:
- Twitch Speed: How nimble is your organization in responding to today’s volunteers?
- Generations: Gen Y and retiring boomers present a new frontier of volunteers.
- Technology: Social networks provide important leadership tools.
- Empowerment: The knowledge worker demands to be led, not managed.
- Slacktivism: You can get involved with the click of a mouse.
- Episodic Volunteering: Today’s volunteers Short-term projects or only when not engaged in work.
Tom will identify and explain six 21st century leadership strategies that will enable volunteer leaders and managers to impact the new volunteer culture so that they can recruit and empower a whole new breed of volunteers. You’ll learn how to awaken volunteers’ passion, help them develop, increase their loyalty and impact your program in new and exciting ways.
