Description

If you agree with the maxim, “Everyone wins when you develop leaders,” this course is for you. I believe we can all agree that there is currently a serious lack of quality leadership in our country, states, and local communities. This, “leadership deficit,” as John Maxwell calls it, has resulted in a lack of quality leaders in businesses, nonprofits, and even our families. As a leader within your organization, you can change that!  In this session, based on Maxwell’s New York Times best selling book, The Leader’s Greatest Return, you will learn the step-by-step process for attracting, developing, and multiplying leaders. This will be an interactive learning community. Please come prepared to share your organization's most effective practices for leadership development as part of our discussions. Invest in yourself and the future of your organization by learning proven principles for creating your own leadership legacy.
