Group X – Leadership and Community Seminar

Leadership and Community Seminar, September 10-13, 2002

The Leadership and Community Seminar was held at Treehaven in Tomahawk September 10-13, 2002, led by co-chairs, Bill Rizzo, Community Resource Development Educator, Dane County Extension and Dan Hill, Community Resource Development Educator, LaFayette County Extension.

The theme of the seminar was Developing a Personal Leadership Philosophy. This seminar was aimed at helping participants develop a personal, holistic leadership philosophy. The working philosophy was based on personal reflection and leadership theory and concepts. The assumption underlying the seminar theme is that individuals who deepen their understanding of self and the leadership context will be better prepared to assume appropriate leadership roles that serve their local communities well. Participants explored and reflected upon: knowledge of self; personal values; personal leadership vision; the ethics of leadership; the external leadership context; and how, through their leadership, participants can impact others and their communities.
