Chairman's Committee on Leadership - Session 1: Personality Profiles and Management 

The program is designed for Chamber members on the go who cannot afford to be away from work for extended periods of time but do have the desire to learn about and support their community’s growth and prosperity.   The Chairman’s Committee on Leadership will afford the same topics with discussion periods that promote dialog, develop collaboration and present the challenges and opportunities for Monroe County’s economic future.  The goal of each session is to dive as deep “into the weeds” as the allotted time allows.  Community development begins with subject area knowledge and our goal is to provide the opportunity for participants to learn firsthand and meet people who share their concern and want to carry the dialog beyond the classroom.

Participation is come and go and open to any employee of a Chamber member in good standing.  The brevity and flexibility of this program allows participants to cherry pick those topics that are most important to them and/or their employer.  

Session I:  Personality Profiles and Management 

March 29, 2017

11:00am - 1:30pm

Lunch included

The Gilmore Foundation, Amory

Do you work with people or engage customers?  Of course you do!  Working with people is the foundation for community development as well as 99% of business.  Everyone’s behavior is different in their approach to opportunities, problems, and communication.  Understanding the role of personalities as it relates to motivation or stress is a vital part of management and working in teams. 

The Personality Profiles and Management session will include an individualized DiSC assessment and an overview of the four main characteristics that blend to make up personality traits.  In addition to understanding your own personality you can use the information presented to begin reading others and responding to them according to their personality type rather than your own.

This session is for individuals interested in improving teamwork, communication and management skills.  While not required, participants are encouraged to pay the $60 fee for a personal DiSC assessment which will be reviewed during the session.
