Management and Leadership Development

Introduction to Management and Leadership Development

​NSP recognizes that quality leadership is a key to any effective organization. While leadership is a broad and complex topic, this site pertains to two concepts, management and leadership development with a focus on our organization.

The objectives of the Management and Leadership Development materials are:
  • to provide its membership with educational resources to help them fulfill the duties required of them
  • to provide information about our NSP organization’s structure and create an ​interest for future patrollers to be leaders of our organization.
​It is in this vein that the materials have been developed. These modules may be an adjunct for those divisions that have programs and a beginning for those that don’t.  More modules may be posted as this page is developed.

About The Modules:

These modules can be used in a variety of ways.  In workshops they can be activities to discuss leadership skills, explore NSP documents, as a set to introduce further specific checklists, to promote group discussions on best practices, or just read as a personal review. 

Knowledge is a key component to management. The P&Ps and NSP website are guiding documents.  Officers and advisors should have a working knowledge of the information they contain. The modules of Leading into the P&Ps and Where in the Web introduce the reader to these documents.
The Patrol Representative/Director Checklists provide lists of seasonal duties.  Each patrol and area has specific needs, but these could be used as a template for the new PD/PR .

Within the NSP there are a variety of leadership positions from officer to advisor to on-hill management. The Leadership Traits and Skills module provides an activity for leadership development through scenarios and discussion.
