Naval War College Hosts Leadership Rhode Island Panel Discussion

Six professors from U.S. Naval War College (NWC) hosted a panel discussion as part of Leadership Rhode Island's (LRI) Defense Session Day, Aug. 17, at NWC in Newport, Rhode Island.

The panel discussion served as an opportunity for NWC subject matter experts to network with LRI participants, discuss global issues and U.S. interests in the Middle East, Russia, China, North Korea and Africa.

"Any time Rhode Island leaders have the chance to learn from what is arguably the greatest strategy school in the world -- right in our backyard -- we should take it. Based on this year's success, I'm hopeful that LRI and Naval War College will be offering more opportunities for our alumni to engage in leadership strategies for our state's benefits," said Mike Ritz, executive director of LRI and Rhode Island state chairman of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Department of Defense program that develops and promotes supportive work environments for service members in the reserve components through outreach and educational opportunities.

Rhode Island Wants to Be the First “Strengths-Based State”

Gallup found that Rhode Island had the sixth lowest percentage of engaged employees in the nation. Engaged workers are involved in and enthusiastic about their work. They are passionate and creative, and their enthusiasm fuels growth and innovation.

To attack this problem, LRI embarked on a multiyear initiative to boost engagement in Rhode Island workplaces. Ritz says the organization uses the Clifton StrengthsFinder (CSF) as a tool to strengthen engagement and enable Rhode Island to be the first strengths-based state in the country.
