SUMMARY:Elevating Your Leadership: A Call to Learn from Your Team's Wisdom (Part 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWant to elevate your leadership skills in 2024? Before you start\, forget the conventional wisdom of learning only from those who lead—sometimes\, the most valuable insights come from those who are led.  \nJoin us for a dynamic two-part webinar series where we will explore original research of leaders who shifted the culture of their organization\, by elevating the leadership wisdom found in the often-unheard voices of those they were leading.  \nPart 1: Unveiling the Unsung Wisdom \nIn our first session\, we’ll explore why those being led are an often-overlooked source of invaluable leadership wisdom.

This session serves as both a guide and a case study\, offering tangible takeaways and illustrating the profound wisdom leaders can extract from those they lead every day. \nBy the end of this series\, you’ll not only possess the tools to integrate lessons from your team but also gain an understanding of the transformative impact such an approach can have in your specific leadership context. Don’t just lead—lead with wisdom from all corners. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Uncover why those who are led offer invaluable leadership wisdom and understand why their insights are often overlooked.\n– Examine essential questions and processes to gather leadership insights from your team. \n– Develop a discerning approach to sift through the noise and identify genuine\, practical wisdom from the diverse voices within your team.\n– Explore the impact of contextual parameters of leadership on learning from your team. \n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:The End of Expertise and How Associations Must Adapt
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAmericans have grown increasingly hostile toward experts. We would rather take medical advice from a friend on Facebook than our doctor or the head of the CDC.

SUMMARY:W459: How to Engage\, Communicate\, and Get More Out of Your Nonprofit Board Members
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nServing on a nonprofit organization’s Board of Directors can be a rewarding and often life-changing experience. Senior management for nonprofit organizations needs to be more active helping their Board members to learn how to be more effective during their Board service term helping Board members find and align their passion and capacity to serve while meeting the needs and expectations of the nonprofit organization they will represent. We will discuss three specific aspects of the Board member lifecycle: \n\nNew Board Member Planning and Preparation\nPathways to Effective Continuing Board Leadership\nPast Presidents and Retiring Board Members Can Be a Powerful Resource or a Missed Opportunity\n\n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Learn about how to help new Board members to get off to a faster start and quickly learn how to be more effective during their first year of Board service.\n– How to take a proactive approach to help Board members to find a pathway for continuing their Board leadership roles and find leadership styles that meet their skills and time constraints.\n– We will discuss different tactics for how to optimize and consider continued using and finding interactive opportunities to use retiring Board members especially Past Presidents (Past Board Chairs) in a manner that brings enjoyment to the individual while helping the organization and not getting in the way of the current seated Board of directors.\n\n  \nResources and Source Articles and Two Series from the SE4N Website  \n\nNew Board Member Planning and Preparation\n\nServing on a nonprofit organization’s Board of Directors can be a rewarding and often life-changing experience. The first year of Board service will set the stage for the remainder of your time on the Board and directly affect opportunities for engagement\, impact\, visibility\, quality of experience\, and advancement.\nThis 4-part series aims to help new Board members set basic goals and develop realistic expectations for success during this critical early stage of their Board tenure.\n\n\n\n  \n\nPathways to Effective Board Leadership Series \n\nTo be an effective Board member you must consider how your own passion and capacity to serve align with the needs and expectations of the nonprofit organization you will represent.\nThis 4-part series will help you assess and choose the leadership path that is best aligned to the organization as well as yourself\, so that you will be in a position to complete your Board service without regrets or second guesses.\n\n\n\n  \n\nPast Presidents Can Be a Powerful Resource or a Missed Opportunity\n\nI have looked at many lists of Past Presidents for nonprofit organizations and been amazed by the roster of names\, but I am often disappointed at how many Past Presidents have become lost connections. High performing nonprofits keep their Past Presidents engaged and connected with meaningful active roles that are thoughtful and strategic.\nThe position of President or Board Chair is usually short-term however the title of Past President lasts a lifetime. We can learn from the organizations that put a high value on this important resource and have worked to maintain a long-term connection with their Past Presidents. Common themes and tactics used include a strong emphasis on continuing service\, active use of their knowledge\, support and network\, and amplification of their voice as spokespersons and ambassadors.\nContinuing service is a key point of emphasis. Organizations need to develop guidelines for active continuing engagement of Presidents after their terms expire and/or following completion of their term as Immediate Past President. Engagement must be active and regular\, driving home the point that Past Presidents will have a meaningful continuing service role. These roles can be divided into two categories: ceremonial roles and specific functions.\n\n\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
