Leading volunteer teams presents unique challenges and opportunities, especially when it comes to developing your leadership style.

Feedback is not just about pointing out what's wrong; it's a tool for growth and improvement. As a volunteer leader, embracing feedback can transform your approach, ensuring that your team remains motivated and effective. Let's explore how you can utilize feedback to refine your leadership skills and foster a positive volunteering environment.

1 Embrace Openness

To shape your leadership style, it's essential to foster an atmosphere where feedback is welcomed and valued. Encourage your team to share their thoughts openly without fear of negative repercussions. This can be achieved by regularly asking for their opinions on various aspects of the projects you're leading. Show appreciation for their input regardless of whether it's positive or negative, and ensure that they know their voices are heard. This level of openness not only strengthens team bonds but also provides diverse perspectives that can greatly enhance your leadership approach.

"Le Style c'est l'Homme" said Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon in front of the French Academy on August 1753. When you lead volunteer teams, you need to inspire them with your actions and experience. They say you need to lead by action which means that everything that they do on the field, you need to do better that's how you gonna get the respect and foster change. I always engage and empower the volunteers by motivating them if we wish to make a difference. Being a leader for the volunteers is a responsibility and a privilege. It’s about using your experience and passion to inspire change and making sure that your message doesn’t just end when you eventually die, it should live on in the actions and minds of those who volunteer with you

Leading a team effectively requires taking regular feedback from the team members. This can be done via conducting weekly team meet-ups, having team bonding activities, giving everyone an equal opportunity of being heard, taking suggestions and actually implementing those. Make sure whatever feedback you take, you look at it carefully and positively.

It has been my experience that the #1 way to create a positive feedback culture is by showing your team you will act upon their ideas. People, want to feel that their voice matters. The best way to do that is to give that voice a reasonable chance to not just be heard but to affect change! Many organizations have fine feedback systems but nothing ever changes. When that happens it sends the message to others that you'd rather go through the motions of getting feedback but you don't intend to go any further. And if that's the case, people quickly learn it's not worth the effort. So, if you want to embrace openness, it cannot just be finding ways to listen, it also includes proving that you are willing to act on good feedback.

2 Seek Variety

Diversifying the sources of feedback you receive is crucial in gaining a well-rounded view of your leadership. Don't just rely on feedback from a select few; instead, seek out opinions from all members of your volunteer team, including those who might be quieter or less forthcoming. Additionally, consider reaching out to beneficiaries of your team's efforts, other volunteer leaders, or community stakeholders. Each group will provide unique insights that can help you identify strengths to build upon and areas for improvement.

Si vous voulez avoir un avis objectif, il est essentiel de demander l’avis de chacun des membres de votre équipe de bénévoles. N’oubliez pas ceux qui pourraient être plus discrets ou moins ouverts. L’avis de tous compte. Chacun fournira des informations uniques qui peuvent vous aider à identifier les forces sur lesquelles vous appuyer et les domaines à améliorer.

3 Reflect Regularly

Regular reflection on the feedback you receive is a critical step in shaping your leadership style. Take time to consider the comments and suggestions made by your team. Ponder over what's working well and what could be changed for the better. Reflection doesn't mean you have to act on every piece of feedback immediately, but it does mean recognizing patterns and considering how they align with your leadership goals. This ongoing process will help you evolve into a more effective leader who is attuned to the needs and dynamics of your volunteer team.

Que faire des commentaires, des feed-back des équipes bénévoles ? Elles requièrent une réflexion profonde et la manière de les gérer est essentiel dans la construction de votre leadership. Les commentaires et les suggestions faites par votre équipe permettent de détecter ce qui fonctionne bien et à ce qui pourrait être changé pour le mieux. Ce processus de réflexion est essentiel pour devenir un leader plus efficace, à l’écoute des besoins et de la dynamique de votre équipe de bénévoles.

4 Act Decisively

Once you've reflected on the feedback, it's important to act on it decisively. If there are clear areas for improvement, make the necessary changes. This might involve adjusting your communication style, altering your approach to project management, or implementing new strategies to enhance team collaboration. By showing that you're responsive to feedback, you reinforce a culture of continuous improvement and demonstrate that you value your team's contributions.

5 Communicate Changes

When you make changes based on feedback, communicate them clearly to your team. Explain the rationale behind the adjustments and how they're expected to benefit the team's operations. This transparency helps volunteers understand that their feedback has a tangible impact and encourages them to continue sharing their insights. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for further feedback on the changes implemented, creating a dynamic and responsive leadership environment.

6 Maintain Balance

Lastly, while feedback is invaluable, maintaining balance is key. Not all feedback will be actionable or align with the team's objectives. Use your judgment to discern which feedback to prioritize and which to acknowledge but set aside for now. It's also important to balance the desire to please everyone with the need to make decisions that are in the best interest of the project and the organization. A balanced approach ensures that you remain focused on the mission while still being adaptable and open to growth.
