Blue – Compassionate Orange – Spontaneous Gold – Responsible Green – Conceptual
Each color has particular strengths and each analyzes, conceptualizes, understands, interacts, and learns differently
These differences, if not acknowledged and understood, can become barriers to interpersonal communication.

Transferring Leadership
One of the most important steps in being a club leader
Being able to hand the reigns over to new officers
Club constitution should aid in this process
Process should be gradual i.e. Officer Elections in January, New
officers shadow current officers from January to May. New officers begin their position in May.
Transferring Leadership

Issues Concerns Duties and Responsibilities (To club, CR, and
SA) Required functions (Paying bills, dues to
Governing Bodies, etc…) What else?
Transferring Leadership The successful transition from outgoing to new
leadership is vital to the continuing successful operation of the club. The following steps must be taken by the outgoing and incoming officers to insure a successful transition: Turnover of all club records. Inventory of all club equipment. Review all forms including last year’s budget allocations
and end of year report. Inform new officers:
Expectations from the club, CR, and Northern Illinois University
Policies and Procedures for the club and CR (Sport Club Manual?)
New paperwork that needs to be submitted to SA and Campus Recreation (Officer Changes, CR Paperwork)
