Leading from the Middle can help you become a better leader -- and a better placebuilder

The Leading Institute's Leading from the Middle program, which starts in late January is designed to help you learn better ways to manage conflict and be more persuasive.  You can also learn a number of skills that will help you in making places stronger and more sustainable.  These include:

*Values-based planning -- a model that helps you make decisions even when you have too little information, and helps you adapt better to unforeseen conditions.
*Cost-effective evaluation -- an approach that gets you to focus on the most important measures of success in your work.
*Cultural competency -- a critical skill set for anyone working in a community or organization that is getting more diverse.
*Team and alliance building --  An important skill set for sustainability.  Behind every successful plan is a group of leaders who are committed to making it happen.

The most successful placebuilders are not just technicians.  They are transformative leaders who can shape how community stakeholders think about places and persuade them to act on their new beliefs.

Leading from the Middle starts January 28, 2011 in New Brunswick, NJ.  Some seats and scholarships are available. Questions? Contact Leonardo Vazquez, The Leading Institute Director, at vazquezl@rutgers.edu or 732-932-3822, x711

January BOCEP Deep Learning courses to start January 12

The first set of Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program Deep Learning courses in 2011 will start January 12 and end February 19.  (They had been scheduled to begin January 5) This change helps give busy professionals more time to catch up from the holidays before class begins.

Even though the classes start a week later, it's better to register early.  You're more likely to get a scholarship (up to $145 for some classes).  If a course is postponed, you will get to take another course free while waiting for your other course to begin.

See the list of upcoming courses 
Updates on scholarships are announced on the Professional Development Institute newsletter.  Subscribe to the free newsletter.
