Purpose-Driven Leadership Institute

NOSORH welcomes all SORH staff to sign up for the newly revamped 8-session Purpose-Driven Leadership Institute! Each session will build on the previous ones, encouraging the practical application of leadership principles in the unique context of rural health. The Institute is structured to integrate the principles of Simon Sinek, Dr. Brené Brown, and General Stanley McChrystal.

Throughout the Institute, participants are encouraged to engage in discussions, share experiences, and actively apply the principles learned in their specific rural health leadership contexts.

 

Who Should Participate?

State Offices of Rural Health staff. Please note that SORH staff do not need to be in a supervisory role to participate. All people are capable of being leaders, and this Institute will help develop and hone your skills!

 

Course Structure and Requirements

Each session is designed for a one-hour webinar, with flexibility for Q&A and participant interaction. Participants will be required to engage in discussion during each session, complete homework and a final project, and submit an evaluation to earn a certificate of completion. Participants must attend and participate in a minimum of seven out of the eight sessions.
