Leadership Development The community/county has a formal, active leadership development program. Local government, the chamber of commerce, the business community, and civic groups actively support the program and encourage employee participation. There are adequate funds and staff to plan and conduct the program. Program participants represent the diversity of the community (racial, gender, geographic, political, economic, etc.). The curriculum includes instruction on basic leadership skills/strategies (e.g., planning, problem-solving, teamwork, interpersonal skills, conflict management, valuing diversity, etc.). The curriculum adequately addresses economic development, community development, and community planning and design topics. The program format is interactive, participatory and innovative (i.e., not simply lectures and presentations). The program has a youth leadership component. The program provides the opportunity for real-world applications — connecting participants with community improvement plans or projects.
