Leadership is the key ingredient that makes the difference between an average club and a great club. High performance leadership at club level is multifaceted and requires a combination of strategic thinking with thorough attention to detail. It is important to remember that all club officers can make a significant impact on their club regardless of their role. It is all down to you whether this impact will be positive or negative.
ve always had a very lively, energetic, social personality. I absolutely love being around people! But as a child growing up with stammer, it was hard for me to find my voice. Engaging an audience, no matter how big or small, was a deep rooted fear. On the one hand, it made me a good listener. But on the other hand, it was holding me back from what I wanted – to be a strong and eloquent speaker. Not being able to express my thoughts, I spent a sufficient amount of time reading, mostly classic Russian novels, Ancient Greek literature and philosophical essays. I ended up having so much to say, but at the same time so little confidence to stand up and do it.
