Cultivating Leadership Within Your Community MMSC Quarterly Training
August 17, 2018
DATE & TIME Friday, August 17, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. LOCATION The Finley 206 E Elm Street Ozark, MO 65721 DESCRIPTION Main Street leaders are the conductors of the Main Street "orchestra" and its many players, including staff, board, volunteers, business owners, residents, property owners, elected officials, funders, and partnering agencies. Main Street leaders can't do the work of revitalization alone. In order to have adequate capacity and to build the engagement and buy-in that are critical for successful revitalization, additional leadership must be developed from within the community itself. The "Cultivating Leadership Within Your Community" workshop will provide attendees with a combination of information and experiential, hands-on activities. The workshop content will cover: Building a culture of shared leadership Leveraging community engagement practices to build leadership by inspiring people towards a common vision Building accountable committees and boards Understanding personal leadership style and its impact on fostering leadership in others Identifying "hidden" leaders in your community All activities will provide participants with exercises they can use to build leadership in their own communities.
