APO LEADS

The APO LEADS leadership development program consists of five modular components of leadership development – Launch, Explore, Achieve, Discover and Serve. Each of the components address a different aspect of leadership growth that allows attendees to continue developing skills no matter their level of experience. APO LEADS courses are offered at Section and Region Conferences, or can be requested for your chapter. You should also contact the Region Q Leadership Development Coordinator to help ensure the course is scheduled properly.

Launch focuses on explaining exactly what it is that makes chapters’ leadership effective and covers the differences between the traditional notion of leadership and the evolving concept of servant leadership. Launch is a virtual course.

Explore teaches students the skills necessary to effectively resolve and manage conflict, discusses the sources of conflict and practicing ethical decision-making, while breaking down different types of conflict and appropriate ways to respond in these situations.

Achieve is a course that centers on the advantages of generating a team-like atmosphere by teaching participants a set of skills that set them up to be able to lead their chapters to universal success.

Discover attendees will learn strategies for assertive communication and self-motivation within the context of the servant chapter model.

Serve is the final step in your APO LEADS journey. This weekend-long training session designed to allow students to learn and practically apply project and meeting management and delegation in a group setting. Serve is available during the summer and over President’s Day weekend at various locations around the country.
