Allie Fairman Task 1: Update anonymous feedback form to ask about experiences with the leadership team and send out to general staff

for this task, I plan to edit the already created anonymous feedback form to pose questions in an extent to which you agree with format. the questions will be… to what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements (with answer choices ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree)

• My leadership team (managers, LCs, head guards, conc mans) actively helps employees with expected daily tasks (cleaning, guarding, teaching lessons, cashiering, etc)
• My leadership team (managers, LCs, head guards, conc mans) leads by example at in-services, all staff meetings, trainings, etc.
• My leadership team (managers, LCs, head guards, conc mans) sets clear and early shift expectations
• My leadership team (managers, LCs, head guards, conc mans) enforces expectations consistently (ex: tells all guards in the office to get off their phones, not just one person)
• My leadership team (managers, LCs, head guards, conc mans) is present on shift (are they checking in with you consistently)

Was the task completed: No

Allie Fairman Task 2: Create audits for leadership positions

With this task, Maddie and I will work together to clearly outline the expectations for all positions of leadership (I will do LCs, Maddie will do the rest). The expectations on the audits will be presented early on in the season to each member of leadership (maybe first leadership meeting). The importance of this is crucial, as it is presenting expectations early and clearly. The aquatics coordinator will then conduct these audits anonymously during a shift. For example: they may sit and silently audit a manager and head guard during a regular daily shift.

Allie Fairman: Meeting 1

during my meeting today with Maddie we both shared our ideas for the potential of this mentorship project. Maddie discussed a leadership audit with the intentions of creating a snapshot of the leadership teams abilities to do their jobs at any given time in a formalized way. I brought up key leadership principles (mainly leading by example and setting clear expectations early) and ways to implement them, as well as formulating a method for leadership staff to receive feedback on areas of excellence and improvement.
