Is LEAD Derby for me?
If you live or work with other humans, LEAD Derby is for you! Years of study and research by the Kansas Leadership Center has shown when people learn how to exercise leadership effectively, progress can be made on difficult challenges. The curriculum used in LEAD Derby will teach people new skills that change the way problems are solved. The skills learned will apply to many areas of your life while engaging with others at work, on committees, boards, and even family members.

What will I learn?
LEAD Derby class members will gain a new appreciation for engaging differently and will learn how to:

• Work effectively with others in order to make progress on an issue, project or goal.
• Make good decisions by recognizing competing values and different points of view.
• Deal with conflict by understanding challenges, uncertainty and potential loss.
• Identify behaviors in others and in yourself that could affect the outcome of a situation.
• Distinguish the difference between technical and adaptive work.
• Behave professionally by identifying strengths, vulnerabilities and triggers.
• Identify the difference between leadership and management.
