Planning from the bottom up

Planning from the bottom up – involving your team in building a successful plan

Many plans fail because they are ‘imposed’ on the team charged with implementing them, not because they are bad plans. We all tend to support a plan that we have had a chance to contribute to and in which we have been consulted. This class will discuss the challenges of this ‘bottom up’ approach and give practical steps and solutions as to how you can make this approach work at your club, to ensure that the final plan is implemented and followed.
