CHARGE Officer Series: Episodes 9 & 10
Welcome to CHARGE Episodes 9 & 10 which focus on building a strong Chapter Officer Team. Episode 9 is centered around team values and the mission of their SkillsUSA chapter. After watching a short and fun animated video, teams will complete the Activity Guide. Teams will begin by writing SkillsUSA’s Mission (HINT: It has recently been updated!) and will work to identify three of their personal values. They will discuss as a group how their personal values show up in their team. Then, they will define the values that they hold as a team and how they want those values to show up in their chapter. It is encouraged for the officers to print their team values as a reminder to continue implementing these values in their chapter.
Now that we’ve developed team values, it is an easy transition to creating a Team Code of Conduct. They will first explore a company’s code of conduct and determine what they liked about it, what they would change, and what stood out to them. They will then make a list of what their expectations are as a team, and what behaviors they would like to avoid. They will then develop a chapter Code of Conduct and will sign their names on the document.
Our final episodes, 11 & 12, will be shared next week!
