Talk About Leadership...Beginning the Conversation


This blog will support a distance education credit course for two master's students. Others interested in the topics may join us from time to time. A basic blog is quick to set up; customized images, etc. take more time. This simple template will work for us. The birds in the background remind me of geese flying in formation, an image that has been called upon to help describe leadership principles, particularly shared leadership, because when the leaders tire they drop back and someone new move forward. Apparently, the flying is less difficult when you are not the first. Soon I will post more specific instructions for how to use this blog to support the course. In the meantime, April and Terry, you will need to set up a Google account to respond to my invitation. (Take care to write potential passwords down until you find one that works - if you set up an account but forget the password, there will be problems. I recommend using your first name only.) When you've joined the blog, you will be able to make posts yourself, to initiate topics for discussion. When you want to respond to topics initiated by someone else, you can do so by commenting on a post. You could start with this one. What are other animal images that help you to understand something about leadership?
