LeadershipSummit

Leadership Mini Summit Ideas

At the Leadership Mini-Summit we want to provide an opportunity to block off some time to discuss leadership topics and help empower our leadership and governance community to feel empowered to lead in our community.

This time it will only be one afternoon and it's currently pencilled in for Tuesday afternoon.

One thing we also would like to change since last time is to make it a bit less heavy on governance-related bits and pieces, but more open to general team leadership. This leadership mini-summit we want to share as much experience among everyone interested as possible.

When

The leadership summit will take place at one afternoon at UDS in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The summit is open to all. Remote participants are welcome to join in the sessions too.

Ideas

At the beginning of the leadership summit we will review the ideas list below and prioritize which topics are of most interest and then flesh out the time in leadership summit afternoons to discuss the most interesting topics.

Please add your topics below (if you add a topic, you should be willing to attend and help run the session -- feel free to add your name to an existing topic if you are happy to coordinate it too):
