Leadership and Teamwork

We (LMF Participants) will be gathering on Wednesday February, 17th to once again focus our time and energy on the topic of leadership and what that means.  We will be focusing on three main topics this month.

First, we will have Beth Harwood from Communications at Work coming in to talk about listening…. Yes, you heard it right, listening.  So often we speak about communication and how to effectively get our message across and not enough about how to take in the information.

Secondly, we will be hearing from Kris Wickline of the CUNA Mutual Group.  Kris will be speaking on the effects of generational differences in the work place.  Have you ever wondered why the new guy is always on his cell phone, why some people find time off so important, or what has happened to the work ethic?  Well those are some of the insights we will be gaining from Kris’ experience as the Consumer Program Manager for Generation Y at CUNA Mutual Group.

Finally, or I should say throughout the day, we will be focusing on teamwork.  How do we truly work with other people to achieve a common goal?  What are the areas that you personally have to help the team, and what do you do to pull from the team’s efforts. 

If you would like to join us, please call Toni at the Community Chamber 262-251-2430.
