How’d you like to hold a senior team retreat or a New Leadership Assimilation in a studio barn with a “liquids only” outhouse? 😊
When you embody your organizational values, you show up as assertively, even aggressively, authentic to your mission. And your constituency loves you for it—and, in this case, readily donated space for the retreat.
Yesterday, the Columbia Land Conservancy https://lnkd.in/ddxFZjBG guided by CEO Troy Weldy along with Heidi Bock, VP of Conservation met to welcome and integrate Anne Marshall, the VP of Finance and Operations into their new senior team.
This team is passionately committed to its mission of strengthening community and trust-based relationships, keeping farmers on their land, providing equitable access to and meaningful connection to the land, and sustaining a culture where staff and board thrive, diversity is celebrated, and challenging conversations are embraced.
Through introspection, generous listening, and feedback, a safe space was created that included lots of laughter, integrity, insights, and the openness to share strengths, blindspots, needs, and priorities.
It was an honor and privilege to be their steward, as they steward the land, people, places, and their community.
The CEO noted at the end that it’s like creating a new senior team charter to guide success forward. Curious? Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dsxPdDqA
PS: I align with their values and was delighted with the restroom accommodations!
