This two-day, in-person training is designed for supervisors, managers, department heads, board members, and others in leadership roles across all cooperative sectors. Developed to be hands-on, reflective, and practical, the program equips participants with tools to build team alignment, make collaborative decisions, and foster healthier, more effective workplaces. Four virtual follow-up sessions reinforce the material and support continued growth after the in-person intensive.
Key learning areas include:
Clarifying team vision and goals
Group planning and collaborative decision-making
Giving and receiving feedback
Active listening and observation
Leadership style and its impact
Delegation and accountability
Self-reflection and personal leadership planning
Last year’s pilot was a turning point for many participants, giving them the tools to lead more intentionally and inclusively. We’re excited to offer this opportunity again, especially as Maine’s co-op sector continues to grow and diversify.
