Ready, learn, lead!
Welcome to Week 5! This week you will be exploring leadership resources that are available online. I try to share online resources for each assignment -- have you been reading my feedback in the gradebook? Former students who have taken the time to use those resources agree that the feedback enriches their experience. If you have not been reading the gradebook feedback, go back and take a look. Remember that leadership is a process!
Here are tips for completing Week 5 work:
Goldsmith Articles (Lesson 1 and 2)- For Lesson 1, you will choose 1 article from the Goldsmith library, read it, and post your text-based response. For Lesson 2, you will choose another article from the Goldsmith library, read it, and post your text-based response. If the link does not open in Canvas, copy it and paste it into a different tab in your browser. Marshall Goldsmith is an authority on coaching managers so that they become great leaders. He is known for helping people change their behaviors so that they positively impact their own lives as well as the lives of those around them. You will go to the Marshall Goldsmith website link provided in the assignment and choose 2 articles that speak to your specific leadership needs. Be sure to explore the articles and chose 2 that will help build your leadership skills -- avoid choosing the first article because it is the first one. Consider reviewing your leadership and relationship styles from weeks 2 and 3 before you choose your articles. Once you choose your articles, preview the 5 questions and then read the articles. Think about your answers. Each post (Lesson 1 and Lesson 2) should FULLY answer the questions and show that you read and understand the article. Each post should be at least 200 words (the questions do not count as part of your length requirement).
How We Waste Time - You will create a padlet on how we waste time. I recommend reviewing your Week 4 Test of Time presentation before you begin your padlet -- it was designed as a pre-cursor to this assignment. Which of the rules for choosing the most important things to do first affect how we waste time? Consider specific lessons/tests that could help the biggest time wasters today. Your padlet could even take the direction of a PSA -- Public Service Announcement. Be sure you read the instructions on how to create and how to post your padlet. Try to embed it this time -- Click on "Course Documents" then on "Course Information" and "How to Embed." We will have future padlets and other web 2.0 assignments that require you to embed so please go back and review the directions.

Melville Journal - When you plan your 150-word response to the Melville quote, remember to read the prompt: do you agree with this quote? how does the internet affect leadership? Use what you have learned during the week to help you write a well-developed journal response. Remember to include this week's vocabulary in your reflection.
