"Management is about doing things right. Leadership is about doing the right thing." —
Peter Drucker, leadership guru
For SPJ student and professional chapters to be successful, they must do the right thing in the right way.
The Ted Scripps Leadership Institute helps participants learn how to do just that by offering a mix of sessions focused on interpersonal and organizational leadership skills, as well as sound chapter management practices.
Who should attend?
Those who will be serving as chapter president during the 2010-2011 year.
Participants in this interactive program learn:
— About their individual leadership style, its strengths, and how to better interact with others.
— The importance of building a sense of community among chapter members and how that can be accomplished.
— The role of the leader in recruiting, developing, and rewarding talent.
— The dynamics of group decision-making and how leaders can help groups make better choices.
— New insights on how to engage and motivate peers.
— How to effectively manage responsibilities while remaining focused on important goals.
This is an invitation-only program. Applications will be reviewed and invitations will be extended to only 50 participants. A submitted application does not guarantee an invitation for this program. The application deadline is March 16. All applications must be submitted using the online application form.
Participants' travel, lodging, and meal costs are provided. Incidentals and spending money are the responsibility of the participant.
Each selected participant will be required to make an investment of $100 in their training upon acceptance into the program. If you are accepted into the program, you must participate in all training sessions/activities held during the Institute.
About the Institute
The program was established in 1996 and is funded through a generous grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation.
The Institute is named for Ted Scripps, grandson of the founder of The E.W. Scripps Company. The funding is provided through the Scripps Howard Foundation by Ted's sons, Edward W. Scripps Jr. and William H. Scripps, as a way to honor their father's memory.
The Ted Scripps Leadership Institute provides journalists with tools to make their chapters stronger and continues to build that network of support for leaders at the local level.
