Abstract

Despite the interest people have in volunteering, there are many challenges for leadership of volunteer organizations such as public private partnerships (Ferreira, Proenca, & Proenca, 2010). This chapter does not attempt to address all of them. Rather, this chapter looks at how leadership can craft a vision and use it to garner the support of volunteers, who can then use it as a guide in their daily activities for the organization. It explores challenges in recruiting volunteers and considers how regular engagement can be used to motivate and retain volunteers. It probes the relationship between leadership communication and organizational cohesion/volunteer commitment. Relevant literature is compared and contrasted with examples of real public private partnerships and community-based organizations. Although often seemingly critical of volunteer organizations and their leaders, this chapter intends to provide relevant, meaningful information with real examples to help mitigate leadership challenges in public private partnerships.
