THE CENTRE frequently takes a leadership role in the region by hosting forums and seminars on timely issues which are open to all organizations.
Our newest series, “Leading Right Now” is a timely one-day workshop that prepares leaders to take their teams through “the worst of times” and create “the best of times.” Leading Right Now focuses on creating a concrete plan which addresses the needs of the
leader AND the needs of the team right now.
Information will be forthcoming on a Regional Forum planned for September 2009.
The powerful new Literature Series will explore leadership through books, short stories and plays and will focus on “questions of character.” The Film Series will focus specifically on ethical dilemmas and how leaders face them and resolve them. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in scholarly discussions, interpretations and practical application. Special guest presenters will be invited throughout the series. This program will be launched in 2009.
Previous CENTRE series were held on 16 different topics such as… “Violence in the Workplace”, “Man/Woman Communication Style Differences”, and “The Learning Organization” satellite series featuring Peter Senge and Rick Ross, co-authors of The Fifth Discipline Field Book.
THE CENTRE has also hosted nine “Entrepreneurial Government Workshops” featuring author Ted Gaebler and state and local leaders who excelled in innovative, entrepreneurial leadership.
THE CENTRE “Images of Leadership Series” built on the Management Academy Curriculum by focusing on leadership style, charisma and vision, ethical decision-making, organizational politics, teams, organizational culture, strategy, negotiation and conflict resolution, change, diversity and entrepreneurship. Video clips from popular movies, case studies and articles from the Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal and Fortune Magazine served as the catalyst for small group discussions.
THE CENTRE “Protocol Series” provided a format to explore how to “walk, talk and dine” like an executive. The series covered business and dining etiquette, global etiquette, networking, and mastering the written and spoken word.
