The Art of Leadership

Rockwood's flagship program is the Art of Leadership (AoL), a retreat workshop for social change leaders from the nonprofit, philanthropic, labor and socially responsible business sectors. Each participant receives a "360-degree" performance evaluation to clarify areas for skills development. In the Art of Leadership, professional trainers deliver a curriculum that provides leaders with (a) clarity of vision in their work; (b) partnership skills, including listening, speaking, conflict resolution and negotiation; (c) "personal mastery" and emotional intelligence skills; (d) teamwork development skills; and (e) performance skills.

• Five-day intensive residential seminar led by nationally recognized facilitators and held in a beautiful retreat setting
