Title
Training Resources for Orland Park Leadership Development Program
History
At the June 20, 2022 Village Board meeting, the Village Board approved the Orland Park Leadership Development Program (OPLDP). The OPLDP is an acknowledgement that the continuous evolution and success of any organization is linked to the continuous growth and evolution of its leadership. Along with the approval of the OPLDP, the Village Board approved the incorporation of training resources for the OPLDP.
The OPLDP is for both formal and informal leaders - anyone who can influence the actions of others. The OPLDP is meant to ensure that the Village is fulfilling its mission of enhancing the quality of life to those who live in, work in, and visit Orland Park. The culture of the organization is on a path in which the mindset goes from "leaders are a select few in the organization" to "everyone can and should be a leader." Ultimately, if every member of the organization is leading from where they are, it will allow us to leverage the power of five highly effective practices:
*Find the voice of the organization and connect and align accordingly.
*Execute our strategy with excellence.
*Unleash and engage people to do infinitely more than they imagined they could.
*Be the most trusted organization possible.
*Create fervent loyalty with all stakeholders.
