Radke completes national leadership academy training

Laurie (Zipperer) Radke, Oconto Falls, has graduated from the Academy for Leadership and Development.

Radke is Dean of Corporate  Training & Economic Development at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. She is originally from Manitowoc.

The year-long program was developed by the Chair Academy, a division of the Maricopa Community College District in Mesa, Ariz., to advance organizational leadership and provide succession planning for leaders in post-secondary education.

To qualify to participate in the program, individuals must be selected and nominated by their colleges. An Academy representative commended Radke's "commitment to providing outstanding leadership within the educational community."

The Academy includes a week of on-site training, development of an individualized professional development plan, a practicum, a mentor and coaching program, and a final week of on-site training in additional leadership issues. Topics included the complex role of the organizational leader; leading and managing effective teams; strategic and scenario planning, managing conflict, leading change, behavioral work styles and appreciating diversity.
