About / Why This Work

A title doesn’t
answer every question.

You get the role, then the questions start. What can you decide? Where are the files? Who can help? Preparation starts with questions like these.

The work between
the big moments.

After the election or first meeting, there are plans to make, people to hear from and promises to keep.

Responsibility

What can I decide?

Find out which decisions are yours, which your group makes together and which need approval. You don’t have to guess.

Information

What am I missing?

Taking over a role can mean sorting through old chats and folders. A good handover tells you what’s unfinished, what’s coming up and where to find it.

Participation

Who needs to be heard?

Before the group settles on a plan, hear from the people it will affect, including anyone who hasn’t spoken yet.

Shared work

How do we follow through?

Agree on who will do what and when you’ll check in. Write it down so nobody has to piece the plan together later.

From opportunity to preparation

A useful question.
A more thoughtful choice.

Writing a proposal, planning an event and taking over a group all involve decisions you can practice. Start with one you’re facing now.
