DELHI - On Monday, Dec. 20, the 2021 Leaderful Delaware Class completed a nine-month program which provided participants with tools and techniques to address critical issues facing Delaware County and their communities.
The program, an initiative of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, used lectures, discussion groups, personal introspection, and panel discussions featuring community leaders to assist participants in identifying potential opportunities for community development. The innovative curriculum used in the program is based on scientific theories of organizational and community leadership.
Leaderful Delaware is an alternative to the traditional leadership model and calls on leaders to be concurrent, collective, collaborative, and compassionate. Strategies included effective facilitation, dialogue skills, active listening skills, managing conflict, intercultural competence, leadership styles, and peer coaching.
All participants were selected for the program, based on their:
Commitment and motivation to community service.
Previous community service or desire to become involved in community activities.
Interest in public service and desire to learn more about public policy.
Potential to advance to a leadership position within their companies.
Commitment to remain in Delaware County.
For information on enrollment in the 2022 Leaderful Delaware class, to begin in Spring 2022 call 607-746-2281.
