Undertaking a task such as designing and developing a free clinic requires direction, support and research. Whether you have a formal or an informal process, the shape and course of the tasks associated with this long term project is driven by an assembled group of individuals referred to as the steering committee. A steering committee is a group of individuals that set the agenda and schedule for the formation of the non-profit and clinic. This committee may have anywhere from two to ten people on it, but for the sake of completing tasks, it is optimal to try to keep it under five people. Ideally, these committee members will be representatives from several disciplines. Look for individuals with a background or experience in accounting, law, fundraising, doctors/health care practitioners and business leaders. They will be able to utilize their network and experience to help you along the way as you encounter challenges. For example, your accountant might have experience with nonprofit organizations, as you will need to create a 501c3 organization for tax purposes. You will also need to know how to market your clinic, manage your finances and seek out potential donors. What’s your Vision? Before you begin to assemble your steering committee you need to make sure you have a vision. Your vision statement should be no more than three sentences in which you describe why you started the clinic in the first place and what you intend to accomplish as a result of starting the center. It should be inspirational and motivational in describing how you can uniquely fill the needs of some healthcare segment that you have identified. The steering committee can shape your vision which in turn will point you toward the informatio... ... middle of paper ... ... how to take appropriate action, but also take the opportunity to re-emphasize their essential active role. Share with them the tasks at hand and ensure buy-in by sharing the preliminary project plan. Communicate with them the vision and the scope of the project and ensure that they have continual access to the right information. Check to make sure that the members are clear about their role. Establishing these expectations is not easy nor is it obvious. There is a role that precedes the steering committee. That role is the role of the person (or the persons) who establishes the committee. This is where it starts - someone forms the committee. Someone, or some small team, will establish the Steering Committee and will create the rules, expectations, guidelines, etc…You start with the key people, and usually their job requires picking the rest of the team.

One of the first steps in developing an organization is to develop the vision, mission and philosophy of the organization. Vision statements are used to define the goals of an organization. The mission statement of an organization is a brief statement that explains the purpose that an organization exists. The organizational philosophy outlines the set of values and beliefs that controls the operations of an organization (Marquis, 2011). UMC’s vision is “to be nationally recognized for excellence in patient care, medical education, and biomedical research.” Their mission statement is “to serve through healing, education, and discovery.” The philosophy of UMC is “to value integrity, excellence, compassion, innovation, collaboration and dedication.” (www.mc.uky.edu)

The leader of a team must make team task roles clear to it’s members. This consists of the part of the shared task they must accomplish to complete the team’s goal (366). That is the main part of a team member’s role, however the other part is dictated by social norms and what is expected of them (or what they perceive to be expected of them). One way a leader can do this is to use rewards and praise when a team member exhibits the role of team-builder, which involves improving the “team’s social climate” (366). Another important thing a leader should do is discuss negative behaviors and explain to the whole team why they are counterproductive (T3). The best way a leader can manage norms is to create a team contract (T3). The leadership style in doing so will be very formative of group norms. In this case, the leader should use a delegative style because this will allow him/her to more easily enforce the rules because the team members’ decided them. However, if he gives the members too much autonomy there could easily be disagreements, and possibly conflict. The leader of the CFWT should do this process in the very first meeting, when members will still be in the forming stage, and thus likely to be more polite

When working on an assignment in a group it is best to set roles for each team member. That is a process called Group Dynamics. Each team member would have a different function in each group. One member would take the Devil’s Advocate role. That position is for a person in the group that can never agree with any of the members ideas’. It helps the group by allowing them to see what it is like having to deal and work with a difficult team member during the assignment. Another member would take the role of the Listener. Their position would be to sit back quietly, keeping their ideas to themselves and allow the other members to discuss their ideas among the group.
