NEPZ Leadership Training

Posted by:

Each quarter staff from the local Workforce Boards, NCWorks Career Centers, and partnering agencies come together for a leadership meeting. All total, attendees represent agencies across the Northeast Prosperity Zone (20 total counties and 3 Workforce Boards). The quarterly meetings are typically hosted at a local company so attendees are able to learn about jobs in the area and see first-hand what is “made locally”.  Region Q hosted the meeting this quarter and we invited Dana Newell with Benton Newell Communications to come and provide some leadership activities for everyone.  Attendees played Jenga while answering questions regarding various scenarios.  This interactive activity gets attendees thinking about how to approach leadership and how to interact with staff.  Attendees also took the DISC personality assessment and discussed the results.
