Welcome

"Everything rises and falls on leadership." John C. Maxwell

Sometime in your career or through Rotary, you have likely been inspired by someone. The ability to inspire is just one of the many qualities of a leader.  However, being that kind of a leader is not something that people are “just born with.”  It is actually a skill that can be learned, honed, and developed by practically anyone. If you have a passion for helping, inspiring, or leading, in either your career or in your involvement with Rotary, consider joining fellow Rotarians in this interactive program of learning and discovery. Details are below.

What defines a Rotary Leader and Rotarian Leadership?

Rotarian Leader: Every Rotarian can be a leader.  A Rotary Leader is a person who coaches, inspires and motivates others toward a shared goal in a collaborative and cohesive way. They leads by example, stretch themselves, and others,  beyond what is comfortable and help make things happen. A Rotary Leader is not based upon a title; but is based upon one’s mindset and activity.

Rotarian Model of Leadership: The Servant model of leadership is embraced by District 5450.  This model asks us to envision collaborative leadership; one where the primary activity of the leader is to inspire, lift up, and encourage the success of team members while the team works toward a shared goal.  The Servant Leader motivates and encourages team members to do the work that is required while providing the tools and direction that the team needs to succeed.  Rotarian who leads and motivates a group of people to achieve a shared goal, especially in new and better ways. Leadership combines inspiration, motivation, being a role model and providing mentorship while bringing enjoyment, satisfaction and fun to the process of the work. Recognizes and celebrates achievement as well as effort.
