n4a Programs The Leadership Institute Changing times require innovation and leadership. In the next five to ten years, the local Aging Network will lose over one-third of its local leaders (Area Agency on Aging Directors and key staff members). This attrition coincides with the rapid growth of the older population as the boomers age and need transportation, in-home care and other critical services to remain in their homes. While this leadership gap will be a result of attrition, retirements and other factors, this and the growing aging population creates a huge challenge for n4a, the AAAs and local aging services providers. The n4a Leadership Institute, an intense and extensive education and training program for AAA Directors, aspiring Directors and AAA planners, addresses these challenges head-on. “Those of us working on the front lines of aging know the harsh realities and the growing enormity of our jobs. Providing more services to a rapidly growing aging population with limited resources requires the best and brightest leaders who have vision, resourcefulness and creativity,” said Sandy Markwood, n4a CEO. Given the local aging “staff gap” that is forecast for the local level, a national education and training program is essential to ensuring that a pool of highly trained, effective leaders are available to continue the critical work of the AAAs and local aging network. According to Markwood, “The Leadership Institute provides the training our local aging leaders need to meet the enormous challenges facing the next 40 years of our aging population.” Doug Krug, co-founder of Enlightened Leadership Solutions and co-author of Enlightened Leadership: Getting to the Heart of Change, will be continuing to educate and inspire the Leadership Institute classes, preparing them for heightened challenges and opportunities as they run their agencies with an eye towards meeting the needs of this rapidly growing older population. According to Krug, “A real key in dealing with the increased complexity (of providing aging services) is to simplify where we can. The Leadership Institute provides a simple set of tools and a methodology for getting more done with less and regaining balance in life.” Mary Beals Luedtka, Director of the NACOG Area Agency on Aging in Flagstaff, Arizona, and a graduate of n4a’s Leadership Institute, shared, “Doug Krug’s heart, passion and dedication was inspiring and captivating. I came away equipped to be a real change leader.” Krug’s book, in its 31st printing, is used as a textbook in numerous colleges and universities, as well as corporate and government leadership development and change management programs. Krug’s broad experience includes working with executive teams in both the public and private sector including Hewlett-Packard, Lockheed-Martin, Carolina Power & Light, General Electric, Boeing, MCI WorldCom and Texaco. n4a is grateful to its friends and sponsors of the Leadership Institute – Harmony Information Systems, Inc. and Bateman Senior Meals. 16
