July 10, 2014 – Muncie, IN – Shafer Leadership Academy, East Central Indiana’s nonprofit leadership development institute, recently hosted a custom leadership program for members of LifeStream Services management team.
Shafer Leadership Academy ‘s Program Director Tisha Gierhart and Executive Director Richard Crist facilitated the four hour workshop, focusing on key elements of building and leading an effective team. The session covered the importance of trust in teambuilding, creating an environment of collaboration, tools for effective communication, and the importance of keeping the “end” in mind when seeking consensus. Here is what one participant had to say about the session; “I believe the most important outcome was examining the importance of team-building and looking at team members from each of their perspectives rather than through your own.”
