Implementation of the Plan: Enter The Champions

Enter the Champions

Lessons Learned from the Distributed Leadership Model Because of a grant from the Bush Foundation, we have been able to study and document implementation via the use of the distributed leadership model and 42 regional champions. What did we learn?

  • There were times when it looked like this approach was the next best thing since slided bread and at other times we seemed to lack the support and resourcs needed to move the plan forward. 
  • We learned that sometimes it worked well for some of the themes. For other situations it did not work as well as we hoped. 
  • It has become a model for the way we did our work this past year, as well as a way we will continue to do our work. 
  • Nearly all champions have committed to another year! And we have in addition brought on some new very important players-42 in all have stepped up to the place to build a Resilient Region!

So all in all, it has been a worthwhile experiment that has become the way we will continue to do our business!
