Not a Captain, but there are a few things I've picked up...
- 1.) You have to have constant and fluid communication between you and your leadership counterparts. If you don't have people at your side filling other specific roles, like safety and outreach, get that going. Having a group of people cooperate in team administration and management is key.
- 2.) Being a team captain is a VERY large time commitment. If you're not going to be able to dedicate a rather large portion of your time and life to the team, there'll be a problem. On the other hand if you're always readily available and committed, you're golden.
- 3.) Being a very powerful and inspirational public speaker and having a charismatic charm about you will help loads when giving speeches to your fellow members and getting them hyped up and inspired during events and build season.
- 4.) Make sure everyone has a role, or if people aren't sure what they want to do, guide them in the right direction. You're more than a captain, you're a leader and someone the other people look up to.
Glad everyone is helping you out, if you heed this advice you'll do great.
Good luck and congratulations on the position!
