The Future Leaders Organizational Workshops (F.L.O.W.)
Each September we sponsor the a day of leadership workshops for students across the state of Kentucky. At the University of Kentucky, we believe that all students can exercise leadership. Leadership does not require formal authority or position and can be practiced by anyone interested in making a contribution and influencing a more positive future.
Leadership is a process of mutual influence directed at achieving purposeful results. The development of leadership begins with personal initiative and awareness: understanding one's passions, motivations, strengths, limits, and personal values. The process of self-discovery is ongoing, and the pursuit of leadership requires perseverance and a commitment to perpetual learning.
Building trusting relationships is essential for the work of leadership. Leadership never happens alone. By incorporating the diverse skills and viewpoints of others, individuals are empowered and group energy is mobilized to pursue collective goals. The practice of leadership is ethical in nature and includes a responsibility for the rights and welfare of those inside and outside the group.
