Thinking Time - Part II

There is no TRY, only DO - Yoda

Last week I posed some of the questions I’ve been asking about Rebuilding Together Kent County over the past several months. That was the easy part of this exercise. Today, I want to focus on what we, as individuals, are willing to contribute to the success of our mission. What do I need to do differently? What have I not done? Tough questions…

I asked myself, where am I deficient? What am I doing that’s a barrier to achieving our goals? As the Executive Director, where have I dropped the ball and what do I need to do differently to cause us to get better? How can I better support Genevieve and Scott? How can I engage the board in a more effective manner? What are the disciplines I need to adopt to create the outcomes I want?

Difficult questions. Challenging answers. Neighbors’ unmet needs. Sustainability. So, challenge yourselves and ask these questions - in light of your participation as a board member of Rebuilding Together Kent County and your desire to serve our neighbors with your best efforts.

Here are the questions…

As a BOARD member of Rebuilding Together Kent County…

#6 > What do I personally, need to focus on to get better in order to help the organization get better?

#7 > What should I be asking?

#8 > How can I use my skills and talents to be a vital part of maintaining sustainability?

#9 > What specifically would make me feel more connected with our mission?

#10 > Am I open to being flexible enough to contribute in whatever manner necessary?

“SEE” you all next Friday!

FYI > Some of the above questions were asked of the AmeriCorps applicants.
