WORKSHOP: LEADING Taking Your Organization to the Next Level Premise: Good management and dynamic leadership don’t just happen. They have to be nurtured, cultivated and rewarded. Effective organizations are mission-driven, looking for results on the street … not another year of rote operation and internal expansion. KEY TAKE-AWAY: GOOD LEADERS HAVE PASSION. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A LOVE AFFAIR WITH THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND THUS CAN ENDURE THE HIGHS AND LOWS. “ When I come to the office every day, it is not a job. It is not work for me at all. This is a part of my life.” CARLOS NELSON, executive director, Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corp. “ I love my neighborhood and never wanted to do anything else. It’s worth getting up and working hard every day. My wife once told me she thought that our neighborhood was my mistress.” JIM CAPRARO, executive director, Greater Southwest Development Corporation KEY TAKE-AWAY: SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE ABILITY TO HIRE, DEVELOP AND PROMOTE TALENTED PEOPLE. IT’S ABOUT BENCH STRENGTH, TOP TO BOTTOM. To senior staff whenever they head off to a meeting that could be a learning experience for others: “ Take someone with you.” JIM CAPRARO 18
KEY TAKE-AWAY: LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR INTENTIONAL ACTION AND GOOD PLANNING, AND THAT ALL PARTS OF THE ORGANIZATION MUST WORK WELL. CONSTANT TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND A WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE — AND TAKE RISKS — ALSO HELPS. A LEADER MOBILIZES OTHERS AND SUPPORTS TEAM MEMBERS. “ Accountability is extremely important.” JOY ARUGUETE, executive director, Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation “ It’s not just your organization serving as lead agency. It’s really about recognizing opportunities for partnerships with others, bringing other people to the table, recognizing what your limitations are and stepping aside in order to let another group grow and blossom because it strengthens the community as a whole.” KARIN NORINGTON-REAVES, chief of staff for Ald. Willie Cochran (20th), whose office helps anchor Washington Park NCP 19
