  • Have a teachable heart.
  • Be open to learning new ways of leading.
  • Be willing to be stretched.
  • Embrace being held accountable.
  • Be available and present.
  • Inspire by our words and actions.
  • Challenge with compassion.
  • Support and nurture growth in others.
  • Use our strengths and gifts to make positive change.

Our Approach

Leadership Lynchburg believes in and exposes its participants to the Collaborative Leadership approach. There have been a number of research projects and studies of the key lessons for Collaborative leaders but they all come down to some similar themes.

  • Willingness to Take Risks
  • Be an Eager Listener
  • Passion
  • Optimism
  • And the ability to share, knowledge, power, and credit.

 

If these are skills you’d like to develop or perfect . . . then Leadership Lynchburg is the program for you!
