CNYScouter 46 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 In the description of the Adult Association method it states that Adults serve in a shadow leader capacity. How would you describe this to a new Venturing Leader? How about some examples that show a leader acting in a shadow leader capacity. We have some new Committee members and would like some different ways to explain their role. Link to post Share on other sites

emb021 16 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 BW pretty much coveres it. I will add that I see shadow leadership used a lot in the OA, where every youth officer/committee chair has an assigned advisor. At best, this just means that the youth has a specific person they can go to to get advise/information (because ideally that person would be knowledgable in the task the youth is doing). At worse, these means that if the youth is having problems, or just not doing the job, that advisor can quickly step in to make sure it does get done. Link to post Share on other sites
