The Morgantown Butler County Chamber of Commerce held their monthly luncheon on Thursday, March 28, at the Butler County Extension Office.  Jim Green presented a “Lunch & Learn” session on leadership.  Green, a Butler County School Administrator, is also a certified member of the John C. Maxwell Coaching, Speaking and Teaching Team. 

According to Green leadership is teachable and he shared 2 of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by Maxwell. 
First, the Law of the Lid, “an organization will only reach the level of effectiveness of the leader,” said Green. “Your leadership ability always determines your effectiveness and the potential impact of your organization.”
Next, Green spoke about the Law of Process.  “Leaders are made by what they do daily over several years,” said Green.  He used David Coleman, of Coleman Brothers Motors, as an excellent example of how to lead a business.
Green encouraged everyone to step out of their comfort zone and grow. Successful leaders are learners. And the learning process is ongoing, a result of self-discipline and perseverance according to Green.

Green is offering leadership classes starting April 15th, at Morgantown Community Church.  For more information contact him at [email protected] or 999-8267.

Chamber President James Runion presented the Morgantown Mission with the Community Improvement Award.  Mission Director Garry McKinney thanked the Chamber and invited everyone to the grand opening of the Mission on April 11, at 1:00pm. There will be a ribbon cutting and light refreshments served.
“Come see what God is doing in our community,” said McKinney.
