The more that volunteers and other folks
can see the "big picture" and understand why they are doing what
they're doing, the more they will respect your leadership and the cause
they are working to achieve.
Warmth and openness can go a long
way, but being an accessible leader requires both an open attitude and
strategies for making it known that the door is open.
Often dynamic leaders
come from the rank and file of ordinary people. In fact, most of us
have had at least some experience as leaders in the various roles and
relationships of our lives.
