Registration open for Emerging Leaders' Summit
Registration
is open for the 2022 Emerging Leaders' Summit, and this year's theme is
leading multigenerations. The Emerging Leaders' Summit is designed for
early to mid-career managers with a desire for leadership growth and
advancing within the assessment profession.
Leading multigenerations has its challenges. When stereotypes
are identified and addressed, leaders can embrace the diversity that
multigenerations of employees bring to the workplace. In doing so,
leaders are able to go from managing a group of multiple generation
individuals to building and leading a diverse and high-performing team.
The
program will be presented in three parts: two webinars (July 28 and
Aug. 10), and a third session on Aug. 31 at the IAAO Annual Conference
in Boston. The final session will be recorded for those unable to
attend.
The conference session, Mind the Gap! How to Navigate Intergenerational Communication Gaps in the Workplace,
will be taught by Chesney Leafblad, CIAO-Master, Chief Deputy Assessor
for Warren Township in Lake County, Illinois; and Jessica McNeil, RES,
an Appraiser II for the Polk County, Iowa, Assessor’s Office. Course
fees are $295 for IAAO members and $395 for nonmembers and includes the
text “Gentelligence: The Revolutionary Approach to Leading an
intergenerational Workforce.” Registration is open through June 30.
New IAAO self-study course - GROW into Coaching
The
first self-study course in Emerging Leaders’ curriculum has been
released. Old command and control leadership methods no longer service
employees or organizational growth. According to the Harvard Business
Review, managers who practice a coaching leadership style ask questions
instead of providing answers, support employees instead of criticizing them, and help enable employee development through empowerment.
Participants
in this self-paced program focus on leading through coaching. The GROW
Coaching Model and a growth mindset are emphasized.
Registrants
gain access to three eLearning modules: engaging activities,
supplementary materials, and a copy of the book “Coaching for
Performance” by Sir John Whitmore, referenced throughout the course.
The program cost is $249 for IAAO members and $329 for nonmembers.
