Team Member issues
There are four ways you can step up to become the overall team leader:
1. You are a member of a sponsoring organisation. The team leaders are appointed before the start of the contest and receive training and support.
2. You enrolled in the GEE-Plus programme for USD 1,210 so receive priority rights to any team leader roles
3. You are invited to be a co-leader during the contest by your team leader because of your high performance. As a co-leader you will be given access to all of the same materials and support as the leaders. If you are keen to be invited to co-lead, then you may like to let your leader know.
4. Sometimes the designated team leader fails to fire. If so, promptly reach out to the leader to see if there is an issue, offer help, alert the
Leadership is a big step up from being a team member, but it is also very rewarding.
Send an email and text message to the team leader initially. Their details are on your excel spreadsheet. Assume that there is a good reason that they are missing - there usually is. Please urgently contact
In the meantime, please step up to take peer-leadership actions. Reach out to team colleagues both as a group and individually. If you have not heard from the team leader within two days, then you and/or other team members will need to take on leadership responsibilities. Send an email to your designated leader to let them know what you are doing. You can ask Deb to add you to all the training and support systems available to leaders. Keep Deb informed of what is happening in your team.
Talk to your team leader first, if you are able to. Then, if there is still an issue, contact Dr Deb Gilbertson. If your team leader is missing, please contact Deb urgently.
