Testimonials

At MFT, leadership is contagious. We offer solid education from the University of Minnesota Extension, networking opportunities, and help increase awareness of McLeod County Resources. Over the years, MFT has seen alumni receive promotions, get more involved, run for public office, and just feel more aware of their personal talents. Many employers will pay for the tuition cost of attending the program, encouraging employees to grow their skills.

Our leadership program provides high-quality professional development at a very reasonable cost. Build your team’s interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution and understanding of the county and communities where they live and work – encourage someone from your team to apply today!

This is your chance to gain an in-depth understanding of your personal leadership style and how to work with others more effectively. Through the McLeod For Tomorrow Leadership Program, you will develop a base of leadership knowledge and skills including effective communication, facilitation and conflict management. It’s also a great opportunity to build personal and professional networks with community leaders and organizations throughout the county. As a program participant, you’ll develop an awareness of your personal strengths, and better understand your own ethics and values. Plus, you get to take exclusive tours, meet new people and have fun! Fill out an application for the next cohort.

The qualifications for the program are that participants live or work in McLeod County. No specific level of position, education, experience, age, or industry is required. We do especially love to have people who are interested in learning, involved in the community and/or wanting to dive deeper into the county and their own leadership abilities. MFT sees leaders as change makers, not just managers or C level executives. Leadership development is important for anyone interested in expanding their skills.
