Maintaining a Commitment to Professionalism

Staff Development and Retention

About this webinar

As the Director in your program, you have a lot of responsibility. It sometimes seems it’s all on your shoulders because you wear so many hats and play so many critical roles. Wouldn’t it be great to harness the leadership potential and skills in your key staff members so you can focus on the most important work? In this practical and advice-packed session, Dr. Bisa Lewis, the author of the Wings Curriculum, will help you learn effective management strategies for empowering staff members and parents to actively support implementation of program policies, goals and objectives. You will learn how to bring out the emerging leader in key staff members and give them the nudge they need to develop their leadership potential, share important responsibilities, and lead from within. Join us to learn innovative approaches to shared governance. Let go and let staff grow! Isn’t it time to watch your program blossom?

All sessions are 1.5 hours long, and include a brief announcement from our sponsor. 2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
