When should you identify future leaders? As soon as possible! While youre recruiting individuals to serve on a committee, or to work on a project, note who volunteers for important things and then follows through. You want to identify passionate people who are willing to give their time to your cause. How do you prepare someone to take over for you? Many campaigns, projects, and organizations in medical school have leadership turnover every year. This means that from the start of your year, you should keep the leadership transition in mind. The following is a rough timeline to help you think about leadership transition throughout the year: Time PointLeadership Recruitment Tasks To Consider0: Youve got a great idea, and now you need help to make it a reality!Recruit for your cause! Sign up everyone who expresses and interest. Keep notes about what you are doing to get this off the ground so that you can share them with future leaders later.1: Things are officially rolling, and youre making progress.Note those individuals who are going above and beyond - those students who always seem to be available to get things done, and who consistently follow through with their projects.2: The ideas are flying faster than you can plan and organize.Help the budding leaders youve identified take on more responsibility. Give them parts of projects to complete on their own, have them organize an event solo, or make them the point person on a committee or team. Try not to overwhelm your new leaders by remaining an available resource to them! Make sure they know youre available and willing to help out, and create opportunities for asking questions.3: The campaign is running smoothly, and youre thinking about next years leadership.Depending on how your organization is structured, there are a variety of ways to ensure continuity. If you have elections, privately encourage individuals who have been very involved to run for a leadership position. If you are working on a smaller scale project or campaign, leadership may be decided based on consensus. Prior to group discussions, make sure to let people who have dedicated themselves to the project know that they are appreciated, and that you think they would be an asset to the group in the future. Remember that not everyone needs to be a leader. Its important to have individuals involved and active even if they arent running the show. 4: Youve chosen new leadership, and youre about to head off to the wards/board studying/away rotations.Create a transition document using the records youve kept of what youve done. Include as much detail as you can - contact information for members and collaborators, supportive faculty, press contacts, administrators who schedule classrooms, and any other individuals who might be helpful. Providing a timeline of what you did to make your project a reality can be helpful, even if new leaders take the project in a slightly different direction. Make sure to note time-sensitive events, such as applying for funding or scheduling a venue, so that your successors are aware of potential deadlines. Listing contacts and their purpose is also helpful as a separate document. This might include the name and contact information of the person to talk to about reserving a space, how far in advance it needs to be done. This list will be a convenient quick reference, and goes a long way toward demystifying how leadership gets things done. Scheduling a meeting to go over these documents and answer questions can smooth out potential bumps in the road early. It can also help new leaders move past being overwhelmed when they can talk to you about the steps you took to make it all happen the year before. Youll also want to spend a little time going talking about how you thought the last year went, evaluations of programs, and other history. 5: Youre gone, and the project keeps going!Its great if you can be available for questions, attend some meetings, and be a supportive and active member. Make sure not to smother your new leaders with help - let them do their own thing.  %  : D E m n o t u g h @A89ܷܷܷܷܷܷܷh@ h5'h5'CJOJPJQJaJ&h5'h5'5CJOJPJQJ\aJ h5'h5'CJOJPJQJaJ#h5'h5'5CJ0OJPJQJaJ0%  : E n ddd$If[$\$gd5' dd[$\$gd5'ddd[$\$gd5'n o t _LLLddd$If[$\$gd5'kd$$IfT<0u $BB  t0634<Babpyt5'Tt u g zggddd$If[$\$gd5'kd$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'Tg h @zgggddd$If[$\$gd5'kd$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'T@At8zggggddd$If[$\$gd5'kdc$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'T89S`zggggggddd$If[$\$gd5'kd$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'Tzggddd$If[$\$gd5'kd$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'Tzxkd$$IfT<0u $BB t0634<Babyt5'T21h:p@/ =!"#$% $$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V <  t065/ 34<Bpyt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'T$$If!vh5 5f#v #vf:V < t065/ 34<Byt5'Tj 666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH J`J @Normal dCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA`D Default Paragraph FontRi@R 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List RoR 5'titleddd[$\$CJOJPJQJ^JaJ`^`` 5'0 Normal (Web)ddd[$\$CJOJPJQJ^JaJ*W`* 5'`Strong5\PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
