This assignment is designed to help students learn about various resources available for professional development, as well as engage in the thoughtful examination of pertinent leadership topics.
You may select any web seminar from those available online addressing leadership issues and topics.
Some suggested websites are the following:
Management Concepts: http://www.managementconcepts.com/Resources/Download-Free-WebinarsLinks to an external site.
Center for Creative Leadership: http://www.ccl.org/leadership/community/alphaListing.aspxLinks to an external site.
Many of these seminars are accompanied by PowerPoint presentations so you can “view” them as you listen to the speaker. Some seminars are not accompanied by graphics. After you have listened to your chosen seminar, prepare a 3-5 page narrative paper which addresses the following areas:
1. Rationale for your selection
2. Summary of the speaker’s key points
3. How this content is or is not reflected in your present work
4. How applying the speaker’s message can change your workplace
5. Main “take away” from the webinar that you would share with colleagues.
