Happy New Year Siblings in Christ!
We have some scheduling updates for our CRE/CP Workshops!
Our first workshop will be Wednesday, February 12, from 9am to Noon with Dr. Robert McManus.
Robert M. McManus is the Executive Director of Business and Applied Leadership and Professor of Leadership at Muskingum University (Ohio). He is the co-author of Understanding Leadership: An Arts and Humanities Perspective and is the lead editor of Ethical Leadership: A Primer. He is an award-winning educator and has traveled extensively teaching leadership. He is also a certified executive coach. McManus holds a Ph.D. in Communication and a Master of Business Administration.
The title of the workshop is “Leadership as a Process.” This workshop shifts the focus from leadership as a role or position to leadership as a relational process. Participants will explore how leaders and followers co-create goals and navigate their collaboration within the broader context of their environment.
This workshop is free for all CRE/CPs serving in the bounds of the Synod. However, we will need everyone to register by Monday, Feb. 10 (registration link will be forthcoming).
As a preview, here are the rest of the dates for 2025! As a reminder, each workshop listed is a different aspect of a major area of training. Each workshop is unique even if the same general area of study is listed.
