Leadership'in'a'UU'Environment'
How'does'it'differ'from'other'environments?''
• Most'of'the'people'you'lead'are'not'being'paid'(but'then'again…neither'are'you!)''
• As'UU'leaders,'we'must'speak'to'people’s'hearts'as'well'as'to'their'minds.''
• Lines'of'responsibility'are'not'as'clearly'drawn.''
• The'mo0va0on'of'others'must'stem'not'out'of'a'sense'of'duty'or'obliga0on,'but'out'of'a'feeling'of'love'and'belief'in'our'Unitarian'Universalist'faith.'

Leadership'in'a'UU'Environment'
How'does'it'differ'from'other'environments?'
'
• In'our'UU'universe,'you'lead'not'by'virtue'of'a'0tle'or'posi0on,'but'by'virtue'of'who'you'are'and'
what'you'stand'for.'

R = Responsible The person who is ultimately responsible for delivering the project and/or task successfully. Reports to the person accountable.
A = Accountable The person who has ultimate accountability and authority; they are the person to whom “R” is accountable.
S = Supportive The person or team of individuals who are needed to do “the real work.” They support and assist the person responsible.
C = Consulted Someone whose input adds value and/or buy-in is essential for ultimate implementation.
I = Informed The person or groups of individuals who need to be notified of results or actions taken but don’t need to be involved in the decision-making process.

Successful RASCI Chart �'
Introduce/review RASCI definitions with your team. Note: see the above section titled Understanding the RASCI acronym.
Identify and list all of the activities/tasks involved in the project down the vertical axis of a chart or spreadsheet. � Identify all of the people/roles involved in the project and list them across the horizontal axis or spreadsheet. �
![Page 34: 140926 357 continuity slides - UUA](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052306/62895077e1a285450e236a97/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Successful RASCI Chart �'
Identify the R, A, S, C, and I for each activity/task on your vertical axis.� Review and discuss gaps or overlaps in your work. Note: Gaps exist when you have an activity/task that doesn’t have a ‘R.’ Overlaps can occur when you have multiple ‘R’s for any given task and can be more difficult to resolve. Frequently, this can be accomplished by breaking the identified task into sub-tasks.� Share your RASCI chart with a broader group for feedback (if beneficial), make final revisions and get started!
