Build Teams that Drive Campaigns

We can’t build power alone – it depends on teams sharing responsibility, developing each other’s leadership and holding each other accountable. A good team keeps a campaign focused, moving in the right direction, and resilient to challenges.

This training explores why leadership teams are so important in organising and what makes them effective. Through interactive exercises and frameworks, you’ll work through the essentials: crafting a clear purpose statement, agreeing norms for decision making and accountability, and creating roles that distribute leadership – all with collective care at the centre. You’ll leave with practical tools to build or strengthen your own leadership team.

Outcomes:

• Understand the importance of teams and how you make them effective.
• Practise building a team.
• Reflect on how you can apply your learning to your organising. 

This training is part of our foundations series, designed for both new and experienced organisers who are ready to develop practical organising skills. We recommend taking the introduction training first to understand the core concepts of transformative community organising.
