Building Next-Gen Leadership Series
Human Resources has introduced a new limited series, Building Next-Gen Leadership, for any employee across the institution who aspires to lead, regardless of position or title. Participants will learn leadership concepts and develop community, especially around the university's Next-Gen K-State strategic plan. This series is the first phase of leadership development efforts.
Upcoming workshops
Conflict: How to Make It Productive
When the word “conflict” gets brought up, it can produce images filled with fighting, drama, and quite frankly, cause our stomachs to tighten up. But what if we were able to view conflict as a productive, and maybe even necessary, part of interacting with others to make progress on the things we care about? What if rather than looking for how we might get rid of conflict, we could work toward building the capacity to handle conflict? This workshop aims to help us better understand conflict and give us practical tools to engage with it, so we can keep showing up and stay on purpose.
