Mobilizing versus Organizing
Learning Objective
I can describe and differentiate between mobilizing and organizing strategies.
Key Concepts
The three models of engagement are the lone wolf, mobilizer, and organizer.
Mobilizers focus on maximizing the number of people involved without developing their skills, while organizers invest in developing people's capabilities to become leaders.
High engagement chapters use processes designed to reach out to a broad pool of people, cultivate them, and build a sense of community, structure, and purpose.
