Each of the ten projects in the Competent Leadership manual focuses on a different leadership skill, providing you background information and an assignment that requires you to serve in one or more specified meeting or club roles.

Roles can include Evaluator, Timer, Toastmaster, Ah-Counter and General Evaluator. In most projects you can choose which roles to serve in. While leadership roles can be learned in every meeting role, some roles provide better learning experiences than others.

It's not necessary to complete the projects in order and you can complete the manual at your own own pace and can work on it at the same time as working on the Competent Communication or Advanced Communication manuals.

As an essential part of the Toastmasters program, another Toastmaster will provide you written and verbal feedback on each leadship project completed. The evaluator provides a personal opinion of your leadership role, pointing out strengths and offering suggestions for improvment.

After completing the Competent Leadership manual, our Club Vice President Education will submit an application for you to receive the Competent Leader (CL) award.
