Outline

The best way to get to your greatness is through small, continuous steps-what I call the “1% Wins”.–Robin Sharma

Forming A2

Snapshot of A2 when I begin

• 3 Active Leo Clubs– Polgasowita– Kalubowila– UOM

• All the strong clubs with 306 A1• All the experienced Leos with 306 A1

Developing 306 A2

A good leader is a good follower

Tough work

• Had to do the orientations alone• Focused strong on district administration• Had to do a joint Leo camp with 306 A1• Had to train the council as most of them were

new• End of the year– 3 more active clubs

Secret of A2 Success

• Teamwork• Drive to get better• Strong focus on District and Club

Administration• Recognition and Motivation of members

If your greatest resource is your people, then it only makes sense that biggest investment should be in your people

Developing them. Growing them. Training them.
