Leadership & Management Course I

 

 

Sunday 18 - Friday 23 May, 2003

Facilitators: Anuttama Dasa & Hanuman Dasa

Cost: 45 Euro + accommodation*

 

 

 

 

A hands-on, interactive six-day course designed for GBC members, temple

presidents, department heads and other devotees who supervise people or

projects. The course examines the essential principles of leadership and

management and enhances skills in both personal and professional capacities.

 

Delegation, time management, strategic planning, public speaking, project

vision, team development, writing job descriptions, assessment and

reporting, facilitation and meeting skills, and characteristics of expert

leaders are some of the areas explored in the course. All are welcome. No

prerequisite courses are required.

 

Anuttama dasa has been a member of ISKCON since 1975. He served as

sankirtan leader, and later president, of the Denver temple, before moving

to Washington, D.C. in 1993 to become ISKCON's North American director of

communications. In 1999, he became a member of the GBC and was appointed as

the International Minister of Communications. Anuttama is a founding board

member of Children of Krishna (CKI). He is the national vice president of

the Religion Communicators Council (RCC), and a board member of the

Washington, D.C. region of the National Conference for Community and Justice

(NCCJ). He and his wife, Rukmini, live in Rockville, Maryland, and are

members of the ISKCON congregation of Washington, D.C.

 

 

Here is review of the course, taught earlier this year in Mayapura.

 

I enrolled in this year's course with a certain degree of desperation. It

can often feel isolating and overwhelming in management, especially in

ISKCON, where we've often just stepped in to "do the needful."

 

So, when I saw the degree of time, expertise and intense endeavor that had

gone into the preparation and delivery of this course, my anxiety was fully

pacified. Here is a real gesture of concern and practical assistance from

the GBC for the benefit of every devotee--whether a leader or a follower.

 

If you want to understand your own potential as a leader, learn how to

plan successfully, develop the skills needed to build and maintain a

positive team spirit, or just get inspiration and individual feedback from

others in your field, this is the best investment of time I could honestly

recommend.

 

The course has been developed to give a deep focus on assisting Srila

Prabhupada's mission through competent leaders. As many participants

commented, it's only fault is that we didn't have access to it years ago!
