SharedLeadership: Leading and Learning Together

Shared leadership is a learned behavior. It builds on relationships among people who share common goals. It supports community and organizational capacity to respond to challenges they face.
 
Extension sociology Shared Leadership: Leading and Learning Together programming blends face-to-face and on-line learning to develop leadership in communities and organizations.

Our program mission is to engage community, groups, business, organizations, and residents toward collective problem solving by:

• understanding the process and practice of shared leadership,
• building inclusive relationships through collaboration and networking,
• sharing information and exchanging ideas, and
• engaging the collective in decisions-making that improves quality of life.

Our goals are simply to encourage dialogue, facilitates learning, and spawn collaborative action that increases capacity to better address the challenges organizations and communities face in a rapidly changing world.
