The Fox Cities Chamber is partnering with Calumet County to bring its groundbreaking leadership development program – “Leader Lab: Linking Organizational Culture and Leadership” to businesses in the region beginning August 14.
Calumet County Leader Lab is a leadership training resource designed to impact leaders at all levels and across all industries. It is comprised of a combination of seven in-person sessions and a series of short video modules. Videos will be watched in class as well as in between classes then discussed at the in-person sessions. Topics include: Mission, Culture and Excellence; Growth; High Standards; Dealing with Duds; Decision Making; Dealing with Conflict and Fun in the Workplace.
“Many of us have learned leadership lessons from our life experiences without the benefit of formalized structure, practical application, or highly trained mentors,” said Jason Pausma, Economic Development Director, Calumet County. “This leadership program provides wonderful resources, tools, and applications to strengthen, develop, and retain our leaders at businesses and organizations within Calumet County. The Leader Lab program will bolster our talent pipeline, develop stronger teams, challenge emerging leaders, and encourage and motivate people looking for personal growth and deeper opportunities. We are excited to
partner with the Fox Cities Chamber to offer this important and crucial program within Calumet County.”
The program teaches a powerful array of proven, effective leadership insights and techniques. These “MindSets” encompass how great leaders think and what great leaders do. A leader’s “MindSet” determines their initial reaction to events, information, situations, challenges, and opportunities, and influences their longer-term ability to provide effective leadership.
“I was skeptical at first, especially with the format being ‘watch this video and answer questions’, but the subject matter was genuinely interesting, informative and succinct enough that it didn’t feel like a chore to watch,” said a past class participant. “The labs were all very well run, and I think 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time…long enough that they could be substantive but short enough to not take up a ton of work time. I’m really glad I participated and would recommend the Leader Lab to anyone.”
The program is facilitated by Amy Schanke, Director of Leadership Fox Cities, the Fox Cities’ premier leadership program since 1991.
Calumet County Leader Lab will be held from 9 – 10:30 a.m. on the following Wednesdays in 2024: August 14 & 28, September 11 & 25, October 9 & 23 and November 6. The first class will be held at the Calumet County Administrative Building, 206 Court Street, Chilton.
Program cost is $450, and registration is limited. For more information or to register, visit https://foxcitieschamber.com/leader-lab-calco/ . Registration deadline is Friday, July 19, 2024.
