Rabbinic Leadership in a Chaotic World (Parts I & II) | Hayim Herring |
Non-RA Rabbis working in USCJ Organizations: $150 Non-RA Rabbis: $175 |
|
|
Description: Before COVID-19, healthy communications between rabbis and volunteer leaders were problematic. Technology aided and hindered communications, and rabbis and volunteer leaders often had ambiguous and conflicting ideas about their respective domains of authority. Expectations for innovation were already accelerating, but COVID turbo-charged the demand for change. We might understandably long to return to a more predictable pre-COVID "normal." Still, nostalgia will distract rabbis from the unprecedented work they face: redefining an authentic “new normal" that will likely be short-lived and give way to the next "new normal." Part I: Communicating with Your Board in a Time of Social, Political, and Medical Upheaval Part II: Moving from a Strategic Planning to a Strategic Action Mindset |

When congregations assess their leaders within the framework of the organization’s overall effectiveness, all parties will be able to celebrate success and identify areas for improvement in a manner that is both respectful and holy. This workshop will unveil our new tool and show you how to use it to have a successful working partnership. |
