about the leadership institute
Founded in 1997, the Leadership Institute serves as the coordinating body for all CMU leadership
programs. Central Michigan University is recognized as the premier institution for the development of
Michigan’s next generation of ethical leaders. CMU is the first university in Michigan to offer a leadership
minor, and the Leader Advancement Scholarship program is the only program of its kind in the nation.
The Institute offers programs for students at varying stages of leadership experience. Each year aspiring
leaders are encouraged to participate in Leadership Camp and Leadership Safari. Emerging leaders are
ideally suited for the Alpha Leadership Experience. Experienced campus leaders can benefit from
programs such as Ignite Leadership, the LeaderShape Institute and here at this weekend’s Connections
Conference.
CMU’s student leadership programs serve over 7,000 students ranging in age from grades 6-12 to
university level.
Organizations wishing to develop in six areas of organizational effectiveness are encouraged to enlist the

conference sessions
22.1: From Connections & Beyond- Bo Parker and Carolyn Parker
Over the course of a lifetime the average human has 22.1 billion heartbeats. As emerging leaders, are you making sure each
one of those heartbeats count? During this session we will help guide discussion and reflection in finding personal compass
towards your leadership legacy, for both tomorrow and fifty years down the road. Through activities and discussion this
interactive program aims to encapsulate the lessons learned over the Connections Conference and give further insight to
how to continue moving towards your leadership legacy in your organizations.
Beyond The Degrees- Bo Parker and Brandon Wulf
It is estimated we experience approximately hundred-plus interactions during an average day. From these interactions we
influence others in ways we are aware of and not so aware of. This session aims to explore this influence and how to make
more honest, sincere, and authentic connections in your daily life. From the emerging field of Network Theory, to Stanley
Milgram’s “six degrees of separation”, we’ll go beyond the degrees and explore how connected our world is. More importantly
we’ll discuss the real world applications to better your real world relationships and empower others to do the same!
Building Leadership Skills That Last- Dr. Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, Dr. Holly Hoffman, & Jamie Brown
Students who serve in leadership roles often have limited education or training regarding building a strong leadership
foundation. This presentation will discuss the perspectives of three academic leaders and share their insights regarding their
various leadeship roles and experiences. The content centers on building individual leadership capacity and exploring
opportunities for future growth. Join us for this light hearted yet serious discussion regarding leadership opportunities, skills,
and lessons learned.
Eat That Frog! Overcoming Procrastination and Getting Things Done- Harley Blake
Making a good plan is only half of the battle. Actually doing it is a skill all in itself! Mark Twain said “if you eat a live frog first
thing in the morning nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day”...This workshop explores the disciplines involved in
“eating frogs”, a metaphor for doing the hard thing! Stop procrastinating and take this workshop...or should I say, take this
workshop and stop procrastinating!
Foundational Attitudes and Attributes of Great Leaders- Harley Blake
The journey to becoming a person who is recognized as a great leader can be short or long. Much depends on how quickly
one grasps and lives out the foundational characteristics of effective leaders explored in this workshop. Several activities will
be used to help participants to experience and feel these time tested principles, thereby increasing the likelihood that they
will be embraced and applied.
Get Inside the Box- Steely Pegg and Taylor Gehrcke
This session will be based around the Meyers-Briggs (MBTI) personality assessment created almost 100 years ago; yet is still
one of the most widely used assessments. You will be able to engage in a quick MBTI assessment and get into the “box” as
we breakdown the 16 different personality types in a fun and interactive way. In addition to better understanding our natural
preferences, we will also discuss how this helps us better understand group dynamics and creates a strength based environment.
Have Your Cake, and Eat It Too! An In-Depth Look of Leadership and Power- Jasmine Chatten and Erin Chatten
Do you want to have your cake and eat it too? Do you consider your self a powerful leader or a leader with power? In this
presentation you will learn about the models of power and how to effectively use your power in a positive and influential way
that will create harmony within your own group and, or organization.
In Order to Lead I Need to You To Follow- Jamie Brown
It would be really easy to lead if everyone would just listen! Are you often challenged as a leader dealing with your followers?
Do you find your group has a great idea but no one knows how to get there? Does your style fit what your group needs to be
successful? Situational leadership may just help you get your group unstuck and moving forward for the future.

Once you and your organization have completed a needs assessment
process, you can set some goals and begin to map your efforts towards
the achievement of these goals.
The following method of action planning allows for your organization to
identify key elements of your project, construct a breakdown of the tasks
needed to accomplish the goal, and develop an organizational structure to
assess the development of the project.

Introduction
assessing the community
The Organizational Needs Assesment Tool was developed in collaboration with the CMU Leadership Institute
and Dr. Stephen Wagner, I/O Psychology. Its purpose is to inform student organizations,
campus departments, or other organizations about the dimensions of effective organizations. This
assessment allows an organization to measure their effectiveness in these six areas. The goal of any
organization is to fulfill its duties in a manner that is most beneficial for both the organization and its
members. There are six dimensions that contribute to organizational effectiveness. The table below outlines
these dimensions.
DIMENSION
DESCRIPTION
Leadership
Taking initiative to inform members of the current status of the
organization. The ability to take input and criticism from other
members of the organization.
Motivation
Organizational members possess enthusiasm to participate and
complete projects or organizational activities.
i i g
Conflict Management
i g
i i s
Resolution of conflicts that may arise between members.
Goal Setting
Organizational members understand the vision and purpose
of organizational activities and future plans.
Teamwork
The ability for organizational members to work together to
finish projects or activities.
Meeting Efficiency
The goals of organizational meetings are met with minimum
unrelated interruptions.
Each of these characteristics is necessary for a successful organization. These six dimensions are
interrelated processes that facilitate organizational functioning. Think of each of these dimensions as a part of
a wall surrounding a body of water. The purpose of the wall is to hold the water in place, ensuring a sufficient
water level. Even if only one section of the wall is weak, the water level will not be sustained.
To apply this concept to organizations, imagine the water represents organizational effectiveness. This
effectiveness translates into accomplishing organizational goals and satisfying organizational members. An
organization with weak walls allows the organizational effectiveness to diminish, which results in lower levels
of organizational functioning. Poor organizational effectiveness creates a lack of direction, unmet goals,
conflict among members, and overall ineffectiveness.

Let’s do something extraordinary
We are not talking about how to run a better meeting, how to get elected to an office, or how to
conduct a bake sale. We are talking about changing the world. We are talking about getting out
of your comfort zone and becoming the tipping point that changes everything.
.
Any meaningful accomplishment, idea, business, or cause began with one person saying, “I can
do this better.” Unfortunately, many people are happy with the way things are and that is why
nothing changes. We are talking about leading — don’t care about your title. We care about the
results. That is what we are…we are LeaderShape.
We want to be a part of creating a just, caring, thriving world. Participants of our programs and
members of our community know what that world is like because they have tasted it — even if
only for a day. And they want more. Until we have that world, there is LeaderShape and we
have work to do.
Want to change the world?
