Day Leader
Let me first say that this idea came about due to my daughter, who was due to be born in the middle of our building manager training! Since there was a chance that I would not be able to attend the whole training, I appointed one building manager to be the point person for the whole training. This later evolved into having different graduating building managers take on leader for each day of training. This building manager's responsibility starts the evening before their appointed day. The building manager checks in with all the session leaders for the next day to make sure they are good for their sessions and see if they need support. On their appointed day, they monitor the time for the sessions making sure the session leader is staying on schedule. They also take notes on how the day is going, were there any issues with the sessions or individuals, and what improvements could be made for next year. Finally, at the end of the day, they lead the evening debrief with the returning building managers to see how the day went and collect feedback.
