3. What is the most important strategic goal of your

7. Let’s start from
the very beginning.
What is leadership?

8. Leadership is
making people
do things you want
them to do. (THE HARSH VERSION)

9. We have a problem. COMPARED TO A PAID LEADER

10. As a volunteer leader
you will never have
enough time or
possibilities to meet
all of your people.
(SORRY.)

11. Luckily you have these!

12. And these.

13. AN EXAMPLE
Mission: Grow
Scouting and Guiding
by 20 % in 3 years.

17. Having tools is
actually nothing.
You need to use
them right to produce
good content.

18. Good content.
Why does that matter?

19. Internet is full of publishers.
YOU ARE
ONE OF THEM.

20. 54 % of kids ask first Google,
then their parents or teachers.

21. Internet is like home.
We need to really BE there.

22. Time = value

23. Good content.
What is that?

24. SPECIAL PRICE
JUST FOR YOU
MY FRIEND!!

25. AN EXAMPLE
Usually the target group
makes it better by themselves.

26. Good content = service
• Good content is current and offers you new points of view.
!
• Good content is not an advertisement.
!
• Good content is meaningful for the target group.
!
• Good content is communication between the user and the offer
of some service.

• Good content is not whatever & whenever & wherever.
!
• Good content makes your daily life easier (and funnier)!
