Leadership
Regardless of Position: You Don't Have to be a Chief to Have Influence
An AFS Leadership Development Workshop
Course Description:
Leadership is often associated with titles such as Director, Chief,
or Supervisor and clearly, a certain amount of influence accompanies
such positions. However, many of the most significant accomplishments
of organizations happen because of leadership within the ranks of the
organizations. This half-day workshop is designed to demonstrate that
the most important attributes of leadership have little to do with one's
position in an organization. Participants will learn the most important
attributes of leadership and how to develop those attributes to influence
their organizations from any position or stage of career. Participants
also will learn how to use their strength to advantage - and how to
recognize and deal with the "blind spots." This is an excellent
workshop for fisheries professionals at all stages of their careers
- including students.
