The Center for Family Business at the University of New Hampshire will launch its next Leadership Development Program Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008.
The program includes:
* The development of a Personal Strategic Plan by each participant.
* Opportunities to receive personal feedback on strengths and weaknesses.
* Opportunities to gain a different perspective about family businesses through site visits to family-owned businesses.
* Ongoing encouragement to apply learning and share it with others.
* Attendance by other members of the same family at a specified session.
"Participants will leave the program with a firm understanding of the process of effective inspirational leadership, an action plan for continually building their own leadership effectiveness, and a group of colleagues with whom they can continue learning," said Vanessa Druskat, associate professor of organizational behavior and management at the UNH Whittemore School of Business and Economics, who will teach the leadership program.
The 8-session program meets once a month for full-day work sessions. A certificate in family business leadership will be awarded to those who attend at least six of the eight sessions. All sessions are taught at the University of New Hampshire at Manchester.
