leadership

I'm really enjoying my leadership class.  Our professor, Duane Windsor, draws from a wide range of sources, even pop culture.  For example, we briefly covered the Kobayashi Maru scenario from Star Trek.  "This was an infamous no-win scenario that was part of the curriculum for command-track cadets at Starfleet Academy. It was primarily used to assess a cadet's discipline, character, and command capabilities when facing an impossible situation." -ref.

During the first class he thoughtfully acknowledged competing theories and practices in leadership.  This slide was very helpful in terms of giving me a framework for processing it all: Download leadership.ppt  (posted with permission)
