From August 2018
Imagine that you got into an airplane and learned that the pilot didn't complete his training. How comfortable would you be? The leadership team are your pilots and copilots of your chapter. In podcast #464, Dr. Misner talks about what the real secret is for Successful Chapters.
This time of the year chapters have selected their Leadership and Support Teams for the upcoming term. The LT and Support Teams are asked to complete training so that they understand their roles and responsibilities for their new positions as well as understand how all the parts of BNI work together.
BNI also wants to ensure that chapters aren't suffering from the 'leaky bucket syndrome.' The 'leaky bucket syndrome' is explained in Podcast #510. Have you ever played the 'Telephone Game?' It's basically when information gets passed down for several generations and sometimes gets misinterpreted or some information 'leaks out' and doesn't get passed down.
For instance, have you ever gone back through some sort of training and had those Ah-ha moments when certain material was presented? And you remembered you had forgot about that and say to yourself you need to remember that. This is why BNI asks that the LT and Support Teams take the necessary training. It's a refresher/re-certification for some and a brand new experience for others. It's to ensure everyone is on the same page.
BNI is successful today with over 8,500 chapters in more than 80 countries- because they really believe in lifelong learning and training and education. It is one of the Core Values of BNI.
Every member is invited to attend Leadership Training whether or not you're serving in a Leadership or Support role. Please register on BNIATL.com. The 3 trainings in September are 9/10 in Smyrna, 9/18 in Newnan, and 9/26 in Buford. There will also be an Networking Expo following each training. See below for more information.
