LCWR offers a leadership mentoring program that can be pursued from home. The conference developed Leading from Within: A Mentoring Leadership Manual that is based on the three dimensions of leadership (symbolic/meaning-making, relational, structural/organizational).
The program
• is especially helpful to those relatively new to leadership but is a valuable reflection tool for any leader.
• involves a period of reflection, study and exploration on the part of the leader. The process usually takes about one year.
• involves partnering with an experienced leader or former leader who serves as a mentor, or forming a peer mentoring group.
• is flexible. Participants can do as many or as few of the units as works well for them.
• offers a variety of experiences that will accomodate different styles of adult learning.
The manual is in a three-ring binder for easy removal and addition of pages, as users find material to expand what is in the book.
Members of the task force that prepared the manual were: Nancy Schreck, OSF; Angela Gannon, CSJ; Diane Grassili, RSM; Regina Bechtle, SC, and Marie Chiodo, DW.
