Leadership cannot be learned in a day. It takes practice. In Toastmasters, members learn leadership skills by organizing and conducting meetings and by completing projects in the leadership manuals. Projects address skills such as listening, planning, motivation and team building and give members the opportunity to practice them. Just as Toastmasters members earn to speak by speaking, they learn leadership by leading.
You lead by being an Agent of Change. Here, in Toastmasters, you become a leader by doing things that you love to do and by advancing in your chosen goal of communication. You inspire people by your progress, by your actions and by your ideas! You don?t get work done from others instead others work towards their own self improvement by observing you, deriving your energy and seeing the multiple capacities in you. Thus, you not only help you but, most importantly, you help others in improving thereby helping the organization achieve the purpose of its creation- Where Leaders Are Made!!
?
Recently, Toastmasters International introduced a new tagline to their logo ? ?Become the Leader you want to be.? For a movement that has always focused on improving communication skills, this is a subtle message that meant leadership is also given equal importance at Toastmasters. Most people join Toastmasters to improve communication skills and rightly so, however Toastmasters offers a leadership track that helps members discover their skills. This process takes place in such a silent manner that the member seldom sees the sea change in their personality whilst becoming a better leader.
?
Every new member is given two manuals as part of the Toastmasters Welcome Kit ? a Competent Communication manual and a Competent Leadership manual. The Competent Leadership (CL) manual forms the basis for honing leadership skills in Toastmasters.
Members are encouraged to take up roles during regular club meetings, during contests and during conferences and they are provided with feedback on their performance in each role. New members immediately feel at home in the club when they start taking up these roles. They may not yet have given their first speech but they are well on their way to realizing their leadership potential. This spurs members to take on more responsibility and eventually when they complete ten projects from the CL manual, they are awarded the Competent Leader award by Toastmasters International.
?
And the journey doesn?t end there, members are encouraged to take up more challenging leadership positions within the Toastmasters fraternity, that would help them truly become the Leader they want to be !
