How to Be a Good Leader AND a Good Manager (Afternoon Half-Day) Workshop
Thursday, March 6, 2025 – 1:00 – 5:00 PM
Instructor: Shaun Christofferson, AAS, Chief Deputy Appraiser, Crook County Assessor's Office

There are some good leaders and some good managers, but few are both. Most of us have either experienced or seen questionable leadership and/or management. Colleges will learn the difference between a leader and a manager and how to be good at both. This applies to all, no matter their title. Additionally, this session will teach the many measurable benefits of being good at both. We will go over these benefits including, but not limited to building an engaged team, lowering turnover, increasing efficiencies, level of service and production.

This will be more lecture than interactive; however, there will be an hour or so of interactive time during the last part of the session. Interactive time will be mostly during the building of practical templates to use back at the office to guide towards being a good leader and manager.
