Leader's Survival Guide Class in Jacksonville, FL

The Leader's Survival Guide class is coming to Jacksonville.
Leader's Survival Guide
Wednesday, July 16 and 23, 7-9pm
8447 Manresa Ave, Jacksonville FL 32244
This class is a version of the course I taught earlier this year at the LOPSA conference in New Jersey. The class there was well-attended and well-received. We are not charging an entrance fee, but donations to support our hosts are always welcome.

If you will be attending, please send an email RSVP to pr_communications@bbuuc.org so that we can set the room up properly.

The main difference between this course and the one I taught in New Jersey (aside from the cost) is that we will have two 2-hour sessions rather than a 3-hour marathon. The more relaxed pace should allow for good discussion and a chance to drill down on topics of interest.

The course is built around common-sense approaches to problems facing leaders, particularly at a small group level. The main topics are:

  • Characteristics of a good leader
  • Tools for effective management
  • Starting off right--transition planning and execution
  • Building a team
  • Expectations and relationships
  • Creating a learning plan
  • Achieving early wins
  • Matching strategies to the situation
  • Time management
  • Taming the meeting monster
  • Project management
  • Documentation, policies and procedures
  • Managing people
