Teaching Counsellors and Staff to Take on Bigger Roles
Getting one summer’s staff ready for the next summer is a job that takes about a year and a half. As we begin a new camp season we should already be looking at who we should get ready to take on more responsibility the following summer.
In this show (welcome back frequent co-host Paul Sheridan!) we take apart the job of getting people ready to move up. When we started I asked the co-hosts what they do at this time of the year to help their seasonal senior staff understand their responsibilities perfectly but the discussion quickly moved to how far in advance that process really starts.
What do you do to prepare senior-level staff for their summer jobs?
