Several County employees recently graduated from the Professional Development Academy’s Leading On Purpose Leadership Academy, presented in partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo).
The eight-week program is designed to help participants representing counties from across the nation to gain increased clarity in their roles as leaders and more confidence in their ability to lead with purpose. The course is intended for graduates of NACo’s 12-week High Performance Leadership Academy. The County’s Leading On Purpose graduates include Training and Professional Development Coordinator Kelly Greenway, Youth Bureau Deputy Director Mary Guldenschuh, and Public Defender Lindsay Quintilone.
“We’re proud to offer trainings like these that continue to develop the leaders in our workforce,” said Greenway. “Investing in this kind of advanced training ensures our team is prepared to meet the unique challenges of County government while enhancing service delivery for our residents and communities.”
Guldenschuh stated, “This curriculum takes a deeper dive into finding purpose in your work and how as a leader, you can engage others while anchored in that purpose. I would recommend this course to any leader that is looking to build a work culture that inspires employees and drives better outcomes like productivity and customer service.”
“Leadership skills require continuing education and refinement and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Leading on Purpose Leadership Academy,” said Quintilone. “The lessons garnered from this program will be a benefit to both our employees and the clients we serve.”
Founded in 1935, NACo unites county officials to advocate for county government priorities in federal policymaking, promote exemplary county policies and practices, and enrich the public’s understanding of county government.
