Intended Audience: All Invited Overview: The objective of this workshop is to provide leadership training opportunities for all natural resource students and professionals. Recognizing that everyone is a leader within different organizational levels, we will emphasize developing leadership skills, tools, and experiences that are practical and applicable. Instructors will provide perspectives on issues such as: Collaborative governance and decision making; Time management in an era of shifting priorities and paradigms; Decision making and problem solving within the context of complicated issues; leadership scales; leaders at home, the office, community, and the profession; Learners, mentors, and leaders and changing responsibilities as your career evolves. The focus will be on organizational decision making and communication for leaders, ideas on projecting leadership regardless of position, and group exercises and discussions to explore and provide feedback on real life leadership challenges in a natural resource management context.
