You’re a leader, and you have to energize your group.  This means finding ways to deal with situations that appear as though they don’t have a chance of succeeding.  It’s for you to diagnose these problems.  Your responsibilities must not be seen as indecisive for you’re working for the group’s welfare.  You aren’t carrying out a private agenda, but are doing this job for the goodwill of all concerned.  Vince Lombardi (1913–1970), a football player, best known as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers wrote, “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.”  Thus, you have to realize like in football every member is gifted, and through their gifts there will be success.

 Maximize Potentialities

All members ought to be treated like adults.  They must be listened to carefully, and hear what they are saying.  Situations don’t necessarily work out as planned, but there’s always another good point of view to consider.  It’s for the administrator to motivate the members to be happy about what they’re doing, and urge them to higher levels of performance.  That’s why it’s essential to keep tabs on the heartbeat of the group.  In this way he or she will know more about each member.  In so doing this individual will be best able to promote the website’s growth.  An organizer ought to take things a step at a time and build on each success.  Margaret Mead (1901–1978), a cultural anthropologist said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”  A committed leader will guide their followers forward as he or she works at implementing what’s best for their group.

Leadership Goals

A leader must be people-oriented.  In an organization there’s no room for tyrants, bullies, or autocrats.  With a dictator groups die.  It’s the kiss of death even when a benevolent guide leads by whim.  As an administrator don’t be ego-centric, but democratic, and work in the interest of all.  Dr. Seuss (1904–1991), a writer and cartoonist wrote, “Only you can control your future.”  A spirit-filled guide always leads in the interest of his or her members.

A leader’s role is to help people.  To do so effectively he or she must take ample notes of relationships within their group.  This individual should lead by example, and change the policies that no longer work.  This person ought to stimulate growth by focusing on the goals of the group.  So let the members be energized by the administrator’s effectiveness. A guide must move away from the narrowness of self-absorption, and motivate others in the group.

Lee Haney (b. 1959), a former professional bodybuilder said, “Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate.  The world wasn’t formed in a day, and neither were we.  Set small goals and build upon them.”  Haney’s message is encouraging.  Some might look for giant steps as a sign of success, but it’s always wise to remember good results often come with little successes.  As an administrator your goals is to build on these achievements until the project is complete.  Remember, “Strive and persevere when the going is tough, because behind every dark cloud there’s a silver lining.”
