4. Why Recruit?

5. Why Recruit? Shared leadership Organizing who? Ownership
Builds Capacity
We believe that a key to your success is sharing leadership among individuals. Leadership is taking responsibility for enabling others to achieve shared purpose in the face of uncertainty.
And for our purposes, leadership in the movement for the right to health means organizing, which is: a form of leadership that enables a group of people to turn its resources into the power to make change. We want you to think immediately of “who are my people” who are those that you will be organizing and leading in this movement. To establish this constituency, believe me, you must recruit a team.
Finally, having a dedicated team of leaders will help you with success. I know that each and every one of you as a Team Coordinator (or whatever your role is) could take the materials of PIH Engage and be able to advocate, fundraise, and maybe even have social events without building a strong team – but you’ll be severely limited. As volunteers, specializing and delegation cuts down significantly on time spent and will allow you to develop ownership among your team.

PIH Engage Mission and Goals
Specific Commitment Details
Often times we limit our recruitment to just those who are around us – just the few friends we have at work, a couple people you know are interested. But try casting a wider net – you’ll sometimes be surprised by who shows up. Send out an office wide , for example.
