Jun 17    Leadership Fredericksburg Alumni Builder
Leadership Fredericksburg Alumni Builder Series.

Carl Lawson LF ‘12 will lead this session. The topic is “Leading Through Crisis Issues.”
 
It’s been said that anyone can lead when times are good but real leadership  - and character – shows up when issues rise to the crisis level. 
 
Have you faced a crisis in your leadership journey?
And if so, did you face it head on, or did you run from it?
Did you bring others on board?
Are you stronger for it, or was this instance a “fail” in your book?
 

In both his military and professional career, Carl has faced a multitude of crisis moments. Carl will share examples and the tools he relies on to carry him successfully through crisis issues.


The LF Alumni Builder is open to members of the Leadership Fredericksburg Alumni Association only. Mike Fidgeon LF ’09 and Susan Spears LF Executive Director co-facilitate the series. The meetings will take place monthly on the third Tuesday, 8:30 a.m.- 10 a.m.at the Chamber office.
