Analyze the Situation
The first step towards excellence is a thorough analysis of the current situation. This involves:
- SWOT Analysis: Identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to get a clear picture of where the club stands.
- Club Quality Checklist: A detailed review of the club’s operations and quality of meetings.
- Club Coach Checkup: If applicable, working with a club coach to identify areas of improvement.
- LEO Board (Listening, Evaluating, Offering Feedback): Using this tool to continuously improve the quality of evaluations.
- Marshall Tools: Utilizing resources like Marshall’s questionnaires to gauge member satisfaction and needs.
Define/Agree on Values
Values are the bedrock of any organization. For a Toastmasters club, this includes:
- Core Values: Defining what is most important to your club’s identity.
- Club Mission and Toastmasters Promise: Ensuring that all members understand and commit to these guiding principles.
