Extension Develops Future Leaders in Phillips County
Leadership development has been identified as a critical need in Phillips
County. The Extension Service in Phillips County in cooperation with the
Phillips County Chamber of Commerce has developed a series of short courses in
leadership development. The first short course was conducted in the fall of l999
with an enrollment of 20 Phillips County citizens. This short course was
repeated in the spring of 2000.
Subjects included were "What is Leadership", "Leadership Styles", "How
Phillips County Relates" and "The Future of Phillips County".
In the spring of 2001, the participants in the two basic leadership short
courses were invited to participate in an advanced leadership short course.
Twenty graduates of the basic short course participated in the advanced short
course.
Subjects included in the advanced short course included "Public Speaking and
Team Building", "Dealing With People", "Strategic Planning of Goal Setting", and
"Conflict Resolutions."
