Nuts and Bolts of Leadership and Management (March 26-28, 2008)To be a successful manager you need a successful theory of management or supervision. Just as it takes a good theory of defense to win a criminal trial, it takes a good theory of management or supervision to solve problems in your office. This seminar will help you learn to identify and develop your own skills, and use them to fashion a theory of management or supervision that will solve the problems and identify opportunities in your work.Look below for NDLI Trainings in past years
New Leadership Training Seminar (August 23-25, 2006)The National Defender Leadership Institute's (NDLI's) "New Leadership" seminar provides defender leaders with a set of skills they can deploy in their day-to-day work inside and outside the defender program. Developmental exercises involve practice sessions where communication skills are refined in core learning teams for small group sessions. Successful teaching models include: leadership practices inventory, "personal best" exercises, strategies for managing cross-function teams, managing organizational conflict, ways to develop cross-system partnerships and find unlikely allies for your public defense program.
Impact Leadership (May 30-June 2, 2007)NDLI's "Impact Leadership" is an advanced training seminar for a select number of top-level defender leaders who will bring a current leadership challenge to be addressed over several days. The goal is to develop a very specific action plan and communications strategy for one issue that the defender leader wishes to impact. Communication skills, persuasion, and coalition-building skills will be emphasized. Each participant will explore specific ways to impact a group of stakeholders or generate positive change in a particular area of concern for public defense in their state.
