Leadership & Problem-Solving
Discussion Group
Moderated by Dale Tessin & Callae Frazier
Beginning Thursday, March 10th from 3:30-5:30pm
(formerly Forza)
Everyone is welcome.
No commitment and no charge.
No commitment and no charge.
Topics will include leadership strategies and pathways to
conflict resolution.
What better time to discuss leadership than a presidential
election year? The new president will
face longstanding challenges from balancing the federal budget to foreign
policy to climate change as well as recurrent issues such as racial and income
inequality. The individual who holds the
office must build consensus, be consistent, and reduce conflict while standing
up for their principles in the face of constant criticism. Our future leader’s character must be strong
and they must encourage contrarian viewpoints.
Uncomfortably, the would-be candidates of both parties currently
competing in state primaries and caucuses around the country routinely fail to
meet the criteria listed above when campaigning before their “base” of
support.
It has long been argued that civility left politics in this
country many elections ago. Can we bring
it back? Can a thoughtful candidate
overcome the negativity to win a party nomination? And what are the traits of an ideal candidate?
These are the kinds of questions we will grapple with
together during moderated discussions and activities.
We look forward to seeing you!
