Crushed Red Pepper or Nutmeg?

HOPE Fueled by Action Sandwiches
Next Meeting: Wednesday, January 14th
at the Coulee Dam Co
mmunity Church


Leadership Plenty plans for just that: Leadership. Understand that:
  • Everyone in the community has potential to be a leader.
  • Everyone possesses leadership skills that can serve to effect change in the community.
  • Leadership skils and techniques enable us to weave a shared vision and respond to a call to action.
Under the guidance of skilled local community leaders trained by Leadership Plenty, the participants spiced up their personal leadership qualities. Jesse Utz, Amanda Poch, and Nate Piturachsatit led the groups in several activities that clarified the benefits of various leadership styles.

Think about it: Is your style crushed red pepper -- you take charge to get action? Or are you more like a pinch of nutmeg, a subtle reminder of either the big picture or the needed detail. Both styles of leadership encourage success in goals as they balance out the rush to act with pause for reflection.

As one member commented, "Poverty can be alleviated with good leadership." And through the Leadership Plenty modules of active learning, the participants developed trust and skills to help them obtain a vision for two of the community's needs (Community Center and Resource Guide) to which the leadership skills will provide the drive to action.
Next Meeting: Wednesday, January 14th at the Coulee Dam Community Church

Come and help create the vision to reduce poverty in our community. Your leadership style is needed.
