Leadership Lake County

Leadership Lake County Leadership Lake County provides a forum for participants to increase their awareness and commitment to the development of the Lake County community.

Leadership Lake County was founded in 1991 by a prominent group of community members who wanted to educate, inspire, and ultimately develop impassioned leaders within the county. Annual class participants represent the diverse and broad cross-section of industries, ages, and nationalities that comprise the evolving makeup of Lake County. Program Details
​Each year, current and emerging leaders are identified and recruited into the program which kicks off in October with an overnight retreat designed to build teamwork, enhance leadership skills, and examine the societal aspects facing our county. In total, Leadership Lake County is a nine-session program that offers intensive, day-long learning experiences that cover the important impact areas within our community:

​​ Education
Media
Healthcare
Agriculture
Criminal Justice
Government
Economic Development
​Overall quality of life that makes Lake County special

Additionally, two internships must be completed to graduate. The hands-on experiences include a unique combination of lectures, tours and behind-the-scenes activities all designed to create participation and involvement among members.

​After graduation in May, class members commit to a second year of “giving back” to their community. A series of fundraisers culminate with a class project or series of initiatives all designed to leave a lasting impact and make a difference in the county. The momentum continues on through the tight-knit Leadership Alumni group with community initiatives and planned networking events scheduled throughout the year.

True leadership isn't about fostering a chorus of "yes" men; it’s about building an environment where every voice carries weight. A healthy team isn't where everyone agrees—it's where everyone feels safe enough to disagree.

When team members feel safe to voice concerns or offer differing perspectives, innovation thrives. This "Psychological Safety" is the foundation of high performance. It allows for radical honesty, minimizes hidden risks, and ensures that the best ideas—not just the loudest ones—win.

As a leader, your job is to be the guardian of this safety. Encourage dissent, listen with empathy, and value the courage it takes to speak up. When people feel secure, they don't just work; they contribute their absolute best.
