MB -Management Boards…

For the first time in the network, AIESEC Kenya is bringing to you….drumrolls!!!!!…

……the MANAGEMENT BOARD(MB).

What is MB? its a team in each Local Chapter that consists of team leaders in every portfolio. It works like NST for MC, so MB is for EB. Each Management Board will be coached by a member of the NST team….(#the uNSToppable team)

Here is what you can expect from the NST in terms of supporting the Management Board in every Local Chapter….

Knowledge and trainings:-

• Myaiesec.net especially raising, matching and assigning roles in the system
• Leadership skills, they need to learn how to manage or handle a team
• Goal setting. For the MB role, for AIESEC career, personal future, short and long term. Team Leaders need to know what they want to achieve and how everything works for them as individual
• project management.

Also what needs to be done by NST for the MB

• Help the MB select an MB President if they don’t already have one
• Help them come up with an MB plan, or strategies of how to work as a team to help implement the EB plan
• Help them set team goals, rules and regulations (a sort of expectation setting)

Also, the Management Boards are ideally breeding grounds for future EB applicants for the LC. But just a quick reminder, each team leader(TLP) must have atleast 3 team members(TMP) in their team…so each member of the management board should be leading atleast three team members in the LC working directly with them.

For the management of the MB, Grace will be directly involved in assisting the NST’s as Management Boards are under MC VP OD i.e. Kemboi Maiyo, contact her where necessary for guidance.

Remember, we are still the AIESEC Kenya National Support Team….#the uNSToppables….

Question:  What is the NST?

Answer: No concrete definition has been put forward yet, but if one may give it a shot; ‘NST is a team of individuals most of who have had EB experience and coordinate/implement the plans that the MC comes up with’. It’s a team that is in between the MC and the LC’s. The picture below explains it further.

Question: Who do we work with?

Answer: Just like the MC, the NST works hand in hand with the Local Chapter Vice President’s(LC VP’s) and LC Team Leader (TL’s) aka Management Boards (MB’s). With each MC VP having one or more NST member working under him/her, the NST’s also serve to coach the LC that the MC VP is coaching.
