Hi all strategic leaders,
I have just received an email from Leslie in regards to the return of the final paper. Apparently, the subject, "Developing Strategic Leaders" had been taken down from the Swinburne blackboard. Therefore, who ever wished to have their paper return, you will have to send a request to Leslie directly at l.hitch@neu.edu. If not, I guess our final grade fo the subject will be out on the 13th Decemember 2008.

By the way, I had also posted a photo of the graduating group.
Good luck to everyone on the future endeavour.

Regards,
Cricket

Further to our class brief discussion, I have been wondering how to best describe the Masters of Science in Leadership program and the Global Leadership Program?

This would be for resumes and cover letters when we are applying for jobs and graduate positions.

The Northeastern site describes the Masters of Science in Leadership as:
"Northeastern's Master of Science in Leadership is designed to assist today's leaders and prepare emerging leaders in meeting these challenges."

In the one-liner I drafted I said:
"The Masters in Leadership is a one of a kind program designed to provide skills in developing leadership within individuals and organisations at a global level."

So lets get some ideas out there about how to capture what we are studying and what makes it unique in particular the global aspect of it.

Thanks.
Rick

Thus far, this is the update:

1. We cannot limit section of the web pages to be private.
2. We can turn this wiki to be invitation only site.
3. There is suggestion to create a "Guest" profile for prospective students if this web page is an invitation based site only.

Please give some thoughts about it and get back to us.

Why is patience an important part of leadership and especially for strategic leadership?
Do great leaders automatically emerge when there are turbulent times? If so, why? If not, why not?
Discuss your thoughts on developing a shared vision versus strategic thinking.

Class related recommendations from Sid, Joe, Gagan and Quan.

1. More experiential activities

•Lecturer creating an atmosphere in the class where students can learn from their peers and from the
learning atmosphere created.

•Good mix of readings, case studies and videos in the class.

2. More engagement from students

•Teams to present for 10-15 minutes on the readings for the class, preferably one team in each class.

3. Team formation

•Random selection of teams which would ensure students can learn from their peers from other
cultures as there is a tendency for students to form groups with members of similar background and
culture.

•Random seating arrangement in every class.

4. Team assessment component

•Team assessment made part of grading, which would invoke members to contribute to their best
potential to the team.

•Team feedback from members and lecturers every 2-3 weeks.
