‘7 Habits’ to Achieve YOUR Parks and Rec ‘Super’ Status

  • Registration Closed

As supervisors, we must juggle meetings, staff schedules, put fires out, adapting to the ever-changing requirements, compliance concerns all while meeting the community’s needs during an international pandemic. Nothing is more important right now to our staff than to provide leadership, resources, and support during this difficult time. Those are just to name a few of what being a supervisor does! When situations in the Park and Recreation world are thrown at us in the workplace environment it is vital to change not only ourselves but change our perceptions on how we handle the outcomes. Most of us know of Stephen A. Covey's, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. In this session, we will take Covey's 7 Habits and apply them to current events/trends we are facing in the parks and recreation field. Join us as we further break down learned habits and manageable outcomes necessary to build your own parks and recreation super team.
