About LINC Redwood County

Participants identify their own personal preferences and behaviors using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicatorâ.  Widely used and based on Carl Jung's ideas, the MBTI® helps participants identify their basic preferences regarding perception and judgment and build an understanding of others’ preferences.  Discussion and activities help participants improve communication, teamwork, and leading in organizations and communities.  The workshop facilitator is certified and trained to use this instrument. 

Learn about the different generations that are shoulder to shoulder in your workplace and communities. Develop a clearer understanding of who these generations are, how they differ – and similar - in their values, and their distinct views of the work world.  Make plans for ways you can improve your workplace and citizen service. Understanding generational experiences and how they can play into work and community are important for future organizational success.

Understanding the purpose and power of vision – a desired future - for yourself and organizations or communities, is the focus of this workshop.  Participants are asked to identify and share their personal visions as a leader, and to consider the value of shared vision for their organization or community.  Particular attention is given to tools and techniques to help name and frame visions – and to translate visions into actions and reality.

Who do you know? What are you willing to do for them?  When you combine the connections among family, friends and neighbors with the democratic structures in our communities we have something called “social capital.”  Social capital takes many different forms.  It can be the neighbor down the street who knows all the children and is willing to help out in an emergency.  It can be the local police officer who coaches Little League, or volunteers who come together each year to organize a Relay for Life event.  Wherever you find people coming together, building relationships, or networking to get things done, you will see social capital at work improving your community. In this program, learn more about what social capital is and how building it in your community can make it a better place to live.

The workshop reviews and discusses what ethics mean for individuals and leaders in organizations and communities in a world with many values and morals. Tools for ethical decision-making are shared and discussed, including frameworks for deciding on “the right thing to do” when facing ethical dilemmas with no clear “right” action.

Historically, most leadership programs devote their focus on tenets of leadership. However, with the increase in collaborative and global perspectives in communities and organizations, the need to explore and develop followers is essential.  This workshop introduces participants to the practice of effective followership as well as its importance.  Based on recent research by Chaleff (1998, 2008), the focus is to offer insights, build knowledge, and develop new skills for effective followership.
