Leading any organization is challenging. The tension between leading and ‘over-managing’ is especially prevalent in park, recreation, and public land organizations.

This workshop is designed to provide the tools and insight your organization needs to foster a culture of effective leadership practices. Participants are provided with award-winning education tailored specifically to their organization’s culture and maturity. Insights into leadership preferences and strengths are provided for all workshop participants using peer-learning applications that embed leadership understanding, appreciation, and implementation throughout the organization.
