Last year, the NCBC launched the LEAD Academy (Leadership Excellence Achievement and Development) leadership development program for its members. After a successful pilot, which saw nearly 50 aspiring leaders from Bankruptcy Courts across country complete the 4-month training program, we are proud to announce that the program will once again be offered to NCBC members this year.
The leadership skills in the LEAD Academy include:
· Coaching peers and being a positive influence in the workplace
· Understanding how the different teams in the court work together to achieve the court’s goals
· Recognizing how culture and trust influence the workplace
· Leading a team and accomplishing goals with others
· Improving self-awareness and personal development
The LEAD Academy uses a blended learning approach that includes completing pre-conference foundational material; partnering with a mentor throughout the program; attending a full-day workshop at the 2020 NCBC Conference in Anaheim; and creating a self-development plan. More details about the LEAD Academy and the application process will be shared in the coming weeks. Mentorship opportunities will also be available for experienced Court staff who are interested in serving as mentors for the program.
