One of the things that comes up time and time again in my conversations with community builders is how to get staff members more involved.
I've found that these 3 key things work for me:
- Thinking about what’s in it for them & communicating value
- Personal, 1:1 relationships
- Specific, clear asks
📣 Thinking about what’s in it for them & communicating value
As community builders, we know the value of community and what problems it can solve, but sometimes we’ve got to take a step back and think about the staff member we’re trying to inspire to get more involved in community – what’s their role? What makes them tick? What are their pain points and problems? What are they awesome at?
