John Maxwell The 5 Levels Of Leadership - Animated Book Summary

Let’s do a quick change of format for the blog today. During Saturday’s webinar on the North American Membership Initiative (NAMI), Past International Director Jerome Thompson showed this 6-minute video. It describes the five levels of leadership. Watch it now.


Many of the membership problems facing Lions today is the direct result of ineffective leadership in the past. That’s not to point a finger at any one specific individual. This has been a 40-year problem. NAMI cannot correct a 40-year problem in just one year. It will take a long time. NAMI is the beginning by creating leaders for the local clubs, zones, district and multiple district.

Environmental Service Project Ideas

Growing Lions Clubs want to do service. Many are also looking for an economical solution to serve. Many want younger members. Clubs that combine an active environmental service project with recruiting find tremendous success. Let’s look at a few suggestions to not only improve the environment but also grow new Lions in the process. Plant trees with the advice of a local environment organization on the best locations and varieties. Clean up a beach, community space or roadside area monthly as a club. Hold an environment-themed photo contest at a school. Plant a tree or another green form of recognition to honor the winner. Challenge all Lions in your club or district to add one green habit to their daily lives. Recognize a local organization or community leader for environmental conservation work. Volunteer with your local park service to maintain trails. Help more people access and enjoy nature! Commit to “Meatless Mondays” or not eating meat one day each week. Collect used cellphone...

District Cabinet Meeting

Image
Saturday is the second district cabinet meeting of the Lions year. Let’s discuss some facts about a cabinet meeting. Who Is the District Cabinet – Each club president and club secretary are automatically part of the District’s cabinet. Each zone chair is also a cabinet member. District committee and multiple district committee members are part of the cabinet. All that said, any Lion is more than welcome to attend. What Is the Purpose – The cabinet advises the District Governor on matters of importance. Each zone chair explains important matters within the four or five clubs in that zone. The cabinet gets a report on Lions Sight Foundation (LSF), including fund raising and expenses. LSF committees explain projects within their committee’s control. Why Have a Cabinet Meeting – It’s important to share information obtained during the cabinet meeting. Local clubs need to know the size of the Lions footprint worldwide, in Mississippi and within the district. Knowing the work of Lion...

Why Does A Lion Drop Membership?

One of the challenges facing each Lions is a membership loss. For the North American Membership Initiative ( NAMI ) to succeed, Lions must reduce the number of membership drops. Let’s discuss some of the reasons for a membership drop. Some are within the control of the club. There are some membership drops outside the control of a club. Death is one of those. Many times, a Lion moves after retirement to be closer to family. In this case, a drop may just be a change of clubs. Mississippi is one of the states experiencing a “brain drain”. That means those active in the work force decide to leave and relocate to a place paying a higher salary than here. It’s a well-known situation that perplexes both state lawmakers and lobbyists. Again, Lions who relocate simply transfer to another club. There are several reasons of resignation within the control of the club. One of those is competing interests. Perhaps the meeting time conflicts with ever changing family responsibilities. The solu...
