LeaderShape

LeaderShape is an interactive, energizing and unique six day retreat where you will focus on the fact that You Can Make A Difference!

At the LeaderShape Institute, participants learn how to lead with integrity through a variety of fun and educational experiences. They will leave with a developed vision for their organization and an action plan designed to assist them in effectively implementing their vision and goals.

The University of Illinois offers a campus-based session of this nationally recognized program each January. Students apply to their college dean's office through their academic colleges.

University of Illinois' LeaderShape participants stay at the Allerton House in Monticello, Illinois for six days and five nights each January. This year’s program will be from January 10-15, 2010.
Through LeaderShape, you will learn to:

• Become more self-aware of your leadership potential
• Incorporate ethics and personal values in decision making processes
• Recognize and build on the power of teamwork
• Create and implement a long-term vision for positive change.
