We have been welcoming emerging and existing leaders for the past 27 years.
Leadership Marshall County has been welcoming existing and emerging community leaders for the past 27 years. LMC provides practical and interactive strategies grounded in three basic enduring principles:
Leader
Self-Management
Leaders become more effective by enhancing self-awareness and self-regulation. Self-awareness includes understanding their own strengths, blind spots, and styles.
Lead and Empower
Leaders become more effective by knowing when to provide direction and when to empower others to make their own decisions. With empathy, trust, and mattering as foundations, leaders can further develop and reinforce their playbook of communications skills to provide others with a sense of connection, challenge, and control.
lead the Team | Community Dance
Leaders become more effective by enhancing their ability to be systems thinkers that can read and respond to the rhythms and patterns of their teams/communities.
