LCSC Launches new Leadership Skills Training series for 2009

At the request of member agencies, Lakes Country Service Cooperative is pleased to be able to offer a series of five leadership workshops for mid-management level employees in 2009.

Building Relationships with Decision Makers....February 12, 2009
This workshop will give you real life ideas as to the value of building relationships with decision makers and things you can do to begin and sustain the relationship over time.

Committees That Work.......March 11, 2009
This workshop will address the Seven Meeting Traps most groups, committees and boards find themselves in from time to time. This workshop will name and traps and offer solutions for each. It will address meeting guidelines, bad meeting behavior, agenda management, leading from the back and much more.

Your Conflict Type........April 9, 2009
Conflict is a given in our lives. We all handle it differently. The Thomas Kilman Conflict Inventory is an instrument that allows each person to determine how they handle conflict, the strengths of each type and the "shadow" side of each type. This is an eye-opening session that looks at the personal side of conflict.

Ethical Decision Making......September 24, 2009
In your work, you're presented with perplexing decisions every day. What is right? What is wrong? How do you know? This session will help you understand Ethical Decision Making frameworks that you can use to make decisions. We will utilize some case studies and look at the qualities ethical people have. Come to this session with examples, questions and your stories as we explore this provocative topic.

Public Participation.......October 15, 2009
How do we get the public involved in setting an organizational agenda? Just what is Public Participation and how do we make it happen? This workshop will help you gather input from the public and key stakeholders on any issue. Strategically determine who in the public is for you and who is against you and how looking at all sides of an issue will enable you to make appropriate decisions based on the input you have received.

Registration is on-line at the Lakes Country Service Cooperative website.
