Improving Leadership and Culture in Parks
b'
Being a park ranger is an admirable job. Many people grow up dreaming of becoming a park ranger.\\xa0
Yet, too many people leave parks, and walk away from their dream, because of poor leadership or an unhealthy culture.\\xa0
Dylan Mroszczyk-McDonald, a park ranger at Acadia National Park, joins host Jody Maberry on the Park Leaders Show to examine some of the challenges parks face with leadership and culture.\\xa0
For the future of parks, we need to be able to not only attract but also retain a diverse staff.\\xa0
The front line supervisor has the biggest impact on employees and our ability to accomplish the mission of parks. By shifting the focus of parks away from the visitor and the resources and towards building leaders, we can begin to build a culture where people are willing to spend decades serving others.\\xa0
The greater the employee experience, the greater the experience visitors will have.\\xa0
