You'll also hear from colleagues about what attracted them to work for Extension and what keeps them here. Lunchin' with the Leaders Lunch will be an opportunity to match the names of some of your Extension colleagues with their faces. Individuals in administrative roles have been invited to attend. As a new colleague, you are likely to have lots of different questions about lots of different things. Team Extension Extension's success has a great deal to do with developing and maintaining partnerships at all levels.
Partnerships depend on teamwork, mutual respect and trust.
Yet, sometimes differences and conflicts can get in the way of our interpersonal effectiveness. You'll also learn what you can do to minimize the limitations of your preferred style. You'll leave the session knowing yourself better, and feeling better prepared for handling even the toughest of situations. Case studies and discussion will bring actual experiences for individuals to consider. Planned is a tour of UW-Madison, College of Agriculture research facilities and stations.
