Description

All Sail and Chamber members are welcome to participate in a great opportunity to hear Dr. Colleen Timm present "Building a Legacy of Leaders"

Once a team is assembled, the challenge before the organizational leader is to determine how to maximize the capacity of its members to work in alignment with the organization's goals and values to produce the greatest outcomes. This work begins with the development of a loose-tight culture in which core values and measurable metrics replace dependence on directives and employee policy manuals, providing instead a framework for employee innovation, problem-solving, ownership, and leadership. Creating this loose-tight culture requires the leader to provide the necessary training and resources and then let go and trust. Control is replaced with confidence that is paired with the courage to confront behavior that is contrary to core values. Progress is celebrated and stories bring data and evidence to life, serving to further embed desired behaviors into the culture of the organization. The view of employees as leaders becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Dr. Colleen Timm is Superintendent of the School District of Mishicot. The District is extremely proud of its record of meeting the individual needs of every student. The District has an excellent staff, coupled with parents and community members who provide time and talent to improving educational opportunities and outcomes for the youth they serve. As a recognized leader in college and career readiness, the District is proud of the collective effort to develop an academic and career planning process for students that is made possible through strong collaborative partnerships with leaders across our region in business, industry, service organizations, government, and post-secondary education institutions.

Timm holds a bachelor's degree in English and Psychology from UW-Eau Claire, a master?s degree in Reading Education from UW-Oshkosh, a master's degree in Educational Administration from UW-Madison, and a Ph.D. in Educational Administration and Policy Analysis from UW-Madison. In addition to serving on the Board of Directors for The Chamber of Manitowoc County and for Silver Lake College of the Holy Family, she serves as a member of The Chamber?s Finance and Board Governance Committees, the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Advisory Council, and the School Administrators Alliance Legislative Committee.

Timm and her husband Phil have two school-aged sons, Adam and Samuel.
