5thGenTexan 503 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think its been made clear that WB did not work for me. I still want leadership training on my own because I need the information and techniques. I am thinking TED talks online to get me started. Any recommendations Found this.... https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2018/6/10-ted-talks-sharpen-your-communication-skills Link to post Share on other sites
Sentinel947 1205 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 For Scouting Leadership, there is no better book I've found than Working the Patrol Method. https://www.scoutleadership.com/ Professionally I found Crucial Conversations to be very helpful. https://smile.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Talking-Stakes-Second/dp/0071771328/ref=sr_1_3?crid=LS2Z9G35VUHQ&dchild=1&keywords=crucial+conversations&qid=1602512439&sprefix=Crucial+Co%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-3 Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle94-A1 2588 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I am old school, and like books. One of the most informative and something I learned a little from was the 3RD EDITION 2 VOLUME SCOUTMASTER'S HANDBOOK. The only reason I got "a little" out of it was I lent it to a SCOUTREACH Scoutmaster, and never got it back. I would love to have it again because there was a wealth of information in it.

ParkMan 1293 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi @5thGenTexan, Great question - regrettably, I don't have an immediate answer for you. Can you remind us again of your position and longer term interest for what you want to do in Scouting? I ask because I think a Cubmaster vs. Scoutmaster/Committee Chair realistically needs different technical skills. Link to post Share on other sites
yknot 1260 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Have you ever read "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking", by Susan Cain? It helped me understand myself and my own leadership strengths as well as be able to better recognize them in some of my more "quiet" scouts. The book also showed how we often make mistakes about what true leadership is. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
