Hello and welcome to ED 400. Let's get started.
Week One was very interesting.
There was tension, drama on the high seas, and learning.
I'll be interested to see how this course will play out in terms of technology being the "process" not the end game. Well, it is not exactly true, technology will play some role in learning, but the process is leadership. I had a devil of a time in Dr Glasman's leadership course trying to determine "how" leadership compared to supervision and management. What I came to understand is management involves the "things" (budget, goals, widgets) while leadership focuses on motivating the people to achieve the things.
I agree with Dr Faverty that leadership is leadership, not business leadership, sports leadership, or education leadership. The core principals seem to hold true regardless of the situation, organization, or goals.
While strategy is the purview of management courses in business, I'm looking forward to exploring what roles leadership plays with strategy.
Would like to hear your thoughts or input on this posting.
Kirk
