Re: New Team Captain Needs Help!

Take a deep breath and let it out...
Now find 3 other team members and a mentor that will make up your leadership council.

Talk with them and prepare some type of break down for your team's responsibilities.... prepare a presentation for the team.
Take input from your team on your ideas...
Come back and discuss it again...with your council.

Then do it...request volunteers for leadership positions...
Break the team into discrete units... assign tasks... let them go.

You are going to need to have team meetings at least 1-2 times per week and have each group report out on their progress.

Remember... it is a team.... you are just the coordinator now...
Make things happen... find resources..... solve problems...

You are in FIRST now... You adapt. You overcome. You improvise.

let the rest of us know how things are going and everyone will help.

oh and have fun

that is all...
