Leaders maintain a never-ending focus on mission, culture, and the pursuit of excellence.

  1. Leaders create an environment where staff feel proud of their company – and know that their company is proud of them.

  2. Leaders work hard to help staff be successful at work and in life.

  3. Leaders protect the right of good staff to work with good staff.

  4. Leaders encourage and promote open discussion and analysis as a predicate to decision making.

  5. Leaders deal effectively with conflict.

  6. Leaders encourage others to enjoy their work.

Each session will be from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the boardroom at 636 S Main St, Adams. The class will engage in conversation based on videos watched before each class (similar to a ‘book club’ format). The cost to participate in ACLI is $749.99, but we are able to offer this program at the special cost of $249.99. This includes access to the 7 modules and 56 videos in this training program, as well as a workbook for each participant to use as a guide.
