Sample textEven with plenty of people to help you, managing and running an event can be daunting. As a result, it is important to allocate work evenly and efficiently amongst your group members. When doing so, it is important to understand that <u>''people like direction.''</u> Rather than asking questions about what to do, a good event leader will delegate tasks appropriately. As a leader, you must trust in your teammate's ability to perform in a timely manner. Another great way to manage an event workload is to hold frequent meetings leading up to the event. Now only does this keep everyone in the group up to date with the preperation status, it can also serve as a platform to introduce new ideas or features into the event. These include, but are not exclusive to, guest speakers, stakeholders, and other influential students.

== Managing the Workload ==
As you prepare for your event, you may find the work or effort of another individual helping you to be unsatisfactory. Though it is good to have a high standard for your event, you can't expect everyone in your group to have the same vision, expectations, and attention to detail as you. It is important to set realistic standards for your team and to delegate tasks to individuals based on their personal skills and ability to handle their workload. This requires a good amount of personal knowledge of each individual you are working with as communication is key to the success of the event as a whole. Simple activites such as grabbing lunch and chatting with a colleague can do this. Make sure to ask how they are doing and how they are managing their work.
