Scottsdale Leadership helps people focus on their ability to give back to the community. Scottsdale Leadership teaches the ideal of Servant Leadership and Community Trusteeship which is the ability to hold a community in trust; leading with the desire to serve first and only then, to lead; seeing the big picture and acting upon it for the common good.
Scottsdale Leadership is the only leadership program that directly addresses the larger question of this community’s future and prepares people to assume leadership roles that are thoughtful, informed and open to possibilities.
Scottsdale Leadership is important because...
It provides an opportunity for leaders and emerging leaders to integrate themselves into the City of Scottsdale and the issues our community is facing, with the ultimate purpose of getting involved through active volunteerism.
It creates an expanded awareness of the inter-connected aspects of Scottsdale. Leaders must become aware of all of the issues around them in order to become truly effective. Scottsdale Leadership creates this knowledge in an environment that is fun, engaging and brings the issues facing Scottsdale to the forefront of people’s minds.
The overall impact of Scottsdale Leadership’s core program reaches far beyond the 40 participants in the program each year. The program re-engages our community members and invokes their desire to give back to their city as well as contribute to the overall vitality and quality of civic life for all who live in our community.
