Venturing is a catalyst. It brings together adults and young people, and incredible things have happened and can happen in this coming together. The experiences that can emerge from this group of people is up to the people themselves.
Venturing is guided discovery, with discovery, you step into the unknown, into new areas. In venturing, this discovering is guided. Too often, wonderful energy is simply wasted: it stays on the drawing board. In Venturing, that energy is focused. Ideas do not stay on the drawing board: they happen. You learn how to go from dream to reality, to do something you actually do.
The Specific Goals Of Venturing:
* To gain practical experience
* To engage in a program with a variety of activities to encourage the development of the whole person.
* To experience positive leadership from adult and youth leaders and be given opportunities to take on leadership roles.
* To have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
Vision:
A good leader has to know where he or she is going and be able to motivate others to go there too. Vision focuses on the objective while inspiring group members toward that objective.
Communication:
Since leaders don't operate alone-they lead others-communication must be effective. Otherwise confusion results. Communication is simply the process by which information is exchanged between individuals. Many of the world's problems are caused by lack of effective communication.
Organization:
Being oragnized means to develop a structure, to arrange by systematic planning and united effort. What a mouthful. In today's language, it means "walk the talk." Talking about accomplishing a task or meeting an objective just won't do. You must be organized-this means yourself as well as those you lead. You might have to assign tasks to others working with you, or you might need to break your plan down into steps to accomplish.`
Synergism:
Synergism is the combined actions of two or more people that results in achieving a result even greater than that which each individual is capable of. It is the state in which the whole is more than the sum of the parts.
For example: 1 + 1 = 2 1/2 or even 1,000.
An effective leader recognizes and appreciates that each person is different and that each person sees the world through their eyes, not necessarily as the world really is. An effective leader must be willing to be flexible and sensitive to all situations and adjust leadership styles accordingly.
