**** [image: Emacs!]* ***** *A workshop from the Natural Leaders Initiative for staff and Board members in community organizations >From Scarcity to Abundance: Developing All the Diverse Leaders You Need Tuesday, April 30, 2013, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm *Led by Margo Hittleman and Fabina Benites Colon, Natural Leaders Initiative Location: Cornell Cooperative Extension-Tompkins, 615 Willow Ave.**** In the search for diverse leadership, most organizations ignore one of their greatest assets: the large, untapped pool of informal leaders that already exists right around them. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to strategically grow a leader-full organization while simultaneously furthering your mission, goals and work. *You will: * - Be introduced to the principles of “developmental leadership” and learn how it differs from leadership approaches centered on “persuading,” “motivating” or “influencing” people. **** - Identify when, where and how developmental leadership can help you achieve personal and organizational goals. **** - Learn the key attributes and skills of developmental leaders; assess your own developmental leadership skills; and identify skills you want to develop further. **** - Find concrete ways to identify, nurture and support the diverse, untapped pools of informal leaders – and potential leaders – that exist around you and your organization, while simultaneously furthering your organization's mission and goals **** - Identify ways to apply these principles and skills in the work you're already doing. **** *What people have said about this workshop: * **· ***This was a new way of thinking! ***** **· ***This workshop helped me develop new ways to speak to staff and engage them more in what they need to be successful and satisfied in their work at the organization. ***** **· ***I need to really have deep discussions with my board about this! Schedule at least a whole meeting and then put it on agenda as a standing item to address. ***** **· ***I would love to have access to NLI’s thinking and mentality on an ongoing basis. ***** **· ***I want more of my Board to attend this! ***** **· ***Margo is a great presenter; Fabina too!
