As elected officials, county commissioners work with a wide variety of individuals, groups, organizations, and jurisdictions, not always of their choosing. Commissioners become public leaders by virtue of having been elected. Leadership is a relationship, because it always involves other people. This makes communication and interpersonal relationships critical to being an effective public leader. Participants will assess their personal communication styles, explore how they disclose themselves and relate to others, practice listening and feedback skills, learn strategies for building board communication and relationships, and reflect on how stronger interpersonal communication and relationship skills can help inform and guide their chosen journey as public leaders. This foundational course is one of eight core courses offered in the Lifelong Learning Academy.
