Leadership preparation. Strategic focus. Succession planning. These are elements of ensuring that a business grows and moves forward into the future. Most successful owners and managers get help in one or all areas. Consider giving your folks the skills and knowledge they need to carry on the legacy of your organization.
I had the good fortune to participate in a local leadership development program this past year. The Shore Leadership program offers supervisors and managers on the Eastern Shore the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the issues and challenges facing our region. Led by a certified master coach, participants are guided through skill building activities and conversation to foster collaboration and problem solving. https://www.shoreleadership.org/ . I encourage you to consider sending your bright stars to Shore Leadership in 2019.
Another leadership development program is being considered for this area. Maryland Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MD MEP) is considering holding its “Exceptional Leadership” program on the Eastern Shore in 2019. MD MEP needs minimum 15 participants, and there is already genuine interest from a Queen Anne’s County manufacturer to send 8 participants. Please let me know if you have an interest to send your folks to this training.
