Effective leadership is
highly valued in Narcotics Anonymous. Leadership qualities
should be carefully considered when selecting trusted servants.
We must carefully select our trusted servants, choosing them not
only for their willingness to serve, but also for their
abilities, skills, and experience. Qualities such as humility,
honesty and trustworthiness are as important as willingness. We
should choose leaders who will listen open-mindedly to the
groups’ direction and their fellow members’ experience, yet who
will also stand firm on sound principles if the need arises.
After making the selection, we must continue to evaluate our
leaders’ work and give them direction.

In PI, our committees are generally
project-oriented. Project leaders, or coordinators, must be
given resource support to enable them to carry out their
responsibilities efficiently. They should also be encouraged to
involve others through delegation, and by asking for guidance
from those who have had experience with similar projects in the
past.
