Passion, Purpose & Performance: How Strategic Leadership Works in Today's Credit Union.

 

First year Southwest CUNA Management School (SCMS) students hit the ground running on day one with Dr. Robert Smith. During his high energy presentation, he takes students on an experiential journey, sharing insights into fundamental leadership requirements guiding strategic change within their credit unions. In 2010 and beyond, success will be defined by the ability of credit unions to innovate. This course is a unique hands-on experience in the emerging discipline of leadership innovation. Because successful innovation is ultimately measured by execution and accountability, this course is fully anchored in pragmatic applications including numerous case studies to illustrate different leadership skills. The final segment the revolves around a discussion of who needs to be on your support team for advancing your leadership career as a leader of innovation in your credit union.

Dr. Smith covers:

• Assessing your skills for leadership
• Understanding how vision actually shapes strategic change
• Developing an accountability matrix to track leadership and coaching behavior necessary to get results

Limited spaces are available first year enrollment. Students starting this year will graduate during “The International Year of the Cooperative”. How cool would that be!

On a space available basis, most SCMS classes are also available on a audit basis.
