[Phipsi-l] 21st Century Leadership

[Ronald Ransom]

Guys, 
Take a look at this e-mail. I thought it might be something that some of you
would be interested in.




The Amanda J. Cunningham Leadership Center is pleased to announce the
offering of a new leadership opportunity available to students of all majors
and disciplines ­ the 21st Century Leadership Series.  

Based on the Higher Education Research Institute¹s Social Change Model of
Leadership, the series offers 7 seminars which will help students learn the
skills to succeed in today¹s global economy. The series includes sections
on: Personal Strengths and Self-Awareness; Identifying Values and Ethics;
Defining your leadership brand; Emotional Intelligence; Understanding Team
Development; and two capstone seminars: Embracing Change and Confusion; and
Global Citizenship and Servant Leadership. 

In March of 2008 the National Association of Colleges and Employers released
a study identifying leadership as the #1 quality employers are now looking
for in college graduates, out pacing other qualities and attributes such as
G.P.A., and communication skills (although closely behind).  

³Employers are asking our graduates questions such as ŒHow did you lead
teams?¹ and they want to hear more than ŒI was the president of my
organization¹ or ŒI was in charge,¹ said, Kevin Smith, Assistant Director of
the Campus Involvement Center charged with leading the Amanda J. Cunningham
Leadership Center, ³employers want students to articulate what leading
others means, speak the language of good leadership, and demonstrate the
ability to influence others to want to do more and become more. In short,
employers want to hire students with the ability to lead from any level,
regardless of position.²  

The program will be offered Mondays from 7-9pm and Wednesday evenings from
6-8 p.m. beginning Wednesday of week 2 of Winter Quarter in the Amanda J.
Cunningham Leadership Center on the third floor of Baker Center. Students
who complete all seven sections will receive a certificate of completion.
There is no cost to attend this program.
