2012 Seminar
Leading in Extraordinary Times
16th Annual K-State Leadership Seminar
Thursday, March 15, 2012
8:45 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.
K-State Student Union
Manhattan, Kansas
Featuring award-winning speaker, Judge Tommy Webb.
Today's challenges are mounting on every side, from higher education to international food security to rural Kansas. This is why it's critical to have well-trained leaders ready to guide our state through potential and emerging crises.
Leaders can be asked to address situations of many types. Some situations will need an immediate response, requiring quick and effective decision making. Some will require a detailed look at systemic issues. Then there are the crises that have yet to happen, but require planning and preparation -- just in case.
For universities, extraordinary times demand that we make our campuses and communities safe for all. For food scientists, those times demand that we enhance the safety and security of our animals and food supply. For rural Kansas, those times demand that our best students find rewarding careers and home life in rural communities.
"Leading in Extraordinary Times" will inspire participants to take on today's challenges and give them the training needed to lead the way, whatever the situation.
This seminar will give participants:
- Practical, hands-on information and tools.
- Best practices for effective leadership.
- Inspiration to exercise leadership when it really counts.
- An idea of where to go for additional leadership resources.
- A connection to others who are working to grow their leadership skills.
Join us to learn more about how to remain inspired and to bring others along with you.
