Springfield, Mo — Alina Lehnert, assistant professor of organizational leadership at Evangel University, conducted strengths-based leadership training with Mercy Ministries on Monday, Jan. 25, in Nashville, Tenn.

Dr. Lehnert, who also serves as the associate director of leadership and strengths development at Evangel, and her sister Briana Leach taught the entire staff and residents of Mercy Ministries how to discover their strengths using the Strengths Finder material. They explained how each individual is created with individual strengths and talents, and how each person can capitalize on their strengths in the workplace and their daily lives.
