Swedish – Målet med denna handbok

  • Förstärka vår organisation och utveckla det socialdemokratiska ledarskapet.
  • Lära dig att berätta din egen berättelse för att motivera och inspirera andra (berättelsen om MIG,
    OSS och NU).
  • Våra lokala föreningar och medlemmar ska kunna bilda team, utforma en lokal strategi och planera
    det lokala kampanjarbetet på ett effektivt sätt. På så sätt kan vi förändra vårt samhälle.

Du ska utveckla din förmåga att leda andra genom fem viktiga ledarskapsmetoder:

  1. Skapa en gemensam berättelse.
  2. Bygga upp gemensamma relationer.
  3. Bygga upp en gemensam teamstruktur.
  4. Skapa en gemensam strategi.
  5. Skapa en gemensam och mätbar handlingsplan.
  • Lära ut dessa metoder till socialdemokraternas ombudsmän, regionala och lokala valledare samt
    lokala samtalsledare.
  • Via dessa metoder lära ut organisering till fler som vill bidra till förändring.
  • Organisera fler människor, värva fler medlemmar och bygga en starkare folkrörelse.

I början av varje kapitel hittar du en ruta som innehåller viktiga insikter, nyckelbegrepp och kunskap som är viktiga för dig när du läser igenom kapitlet. Håll utkik efter insikterna så kommer du få med dig de viktigaste lärdomarna från denna handbok.
I slutet av varje kapitel finns det ett övningar. Målet med övningarna är att ge dig allt du behöver för att kunna coacha och utveckla ditt team.
Hämtat från arbeten av Prof. Marshall Ganz vid Harvard University och med bidrag från Leading Change Network och New Organizing Institute.
