Hi Christina, Great blog post, I thought this post was well-thought out and engaging and I just wanted to respond to your question about lacking in the motivational principles of andragogy to complete a task. Rather than talk about completing a task, I’ll quickly summarize how lacking the last principle of andragogy for me […]
As an adult learner, I can personally say that all the assumptions of adult learners in andragogy are true with me. I’ve come to love and appreciate the process of learning more so now then when I was in high school or in my early years of university. Back then, I was truly motivated to […]
Hi Hiromi, I really liked your outline of what modern servant leadership looks like and how it relates to team leadership.

This motto prevailed […]

Instances of servant leadership have been seen throughout human history but was only coined recently by Greenleaf in 1970 who wrote: Servant Leadership […]
Transformational leadership is an approach widely used and accepted by scholars and leaders alike in the 21st century. It’s an approach to leadership theory that focuses on leaders as individuals who lead through mentoring and empowering followers to make decisions and ultimately put the needs of their group over their own (Northouse, 2016, pp. 161-162).
