WELCOME TO LEADERSHIP WISCONSIN

Leadership Wisconsin is pleased to introduce its new advanced statewide leadership development program designed to catapult motivated, high-potential leaders from across the state into solution-based collaboration that will have significant impact on issues that matter.

The “Community Leadership 2.0” program is available exclusively to those thousands of individuals across the state who have benefited from one of several esteemed local community development programs. These alumni have the skills, awareness and demonstrated commitment to roll up their sleeves and make a difference. They’re ready for advanced leadership training and opportunities and this program will inspire and prepare them even further to engage.

The 2.0 program provides participants the opportunity to work collectively with a cohort of peers from across the state to engage in deep learning and exploration on a single, critical issue. The issue serves as the “learning lab” through which they will hone their skills and connect their own local communities to a network of better practices, valuable resources and collaborative thinking/doing.

EXCLUSIVE TO LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM ALUM

It will be offered to and comprised exclusively of alum of current local community leadership programs in Wisconsin, including such programs as Leadership Kenosha, Leadership Greater Madison, Leadership Green Bay and many others across the state.

LEADERSHIP LEARNING LAB FORMAT FOCUSED ON ONE TOPIC

The cohort will develop advanced leadership skills via an intensive focus on a single issue of importance and impact that is affecting all areas of the state to varying degrees. The Community Leadership 2.0 program’s “leadership learning lab” will utilize subject-matter experts related to the “focus topic,” along with other experts who will deliver content that provides a framework for understanding, collaboration, problem-solving exploration, and action.
