Lead2Change

 

Is the Cadet Program cadet run?

How do you give cadets a sense of ownership over their program?

How does adult supervision and quality control work if cadets are taking a hands-on approach to leading?

The Lead2Change tool for helping cadets win adult support for their big ideas.

Samples & Resources

The following downloads may be useful in your Lead2Change initiative. These resources are borrowed from the Cadet Staff Duty Analysis program. Do you have a resource that should be the example for others? Send it to us. In the future, we want to replace the scoring rubics found in the "Aids for Adults" column with something like a descriptive cheat sheet. 

Aids for Cadets	Aids for Adults / Mentors
Draft a Proposal (Advocacy Paper)	Receive Presentation on Proposal
Build an Operating Plan	Receive Presentation on Operating Plan
Reflect	Receive Presentation on After Action Review

 

 

Future Plans

We'll probably compress the suggested Lead2Change process, which currently involves 12 steps. We're exploring the idea of converting the "Plan" phase to a workshopping format and doing likewise with the AAR portion. Of course, the entire Lead2Change tool is simply a recommendation, so local leaders are free to tinker as they deem wise.
