Businesses and bureaucracies can learn a lot from the volunteer sector. Think about the challenge non-profits face - the volunteer always owns their own time, not the employer. Yet, there are thousands of highly successful volunteer driven organizations making major differences in our communities; huge numbers of people give their time, show up every week and work hard, to make a difference. Why? They feel relevant. They feel empowered. They feel supported. They feel appreciated.
For your paid staff - what must you do to build a work environment that successful voluntary organizations have created: relevant, empowering, supportive, appreciating? What might you expect from team members in that new world? How might your results be impacted?
