Part A The initial step to determining if I can trust any research that I am reading is to ascertain if the article is peer reviewed. At that point there is already a level of trust established as I know that the published work has undergone scrutiny by a peer group that understands research and […]
Evaluation of podcast from https://create.twu.ca/awalkinthewoods/unit-8/ As I have come to expect from the author of “A Walk in the Woods”, my overall impression of this presentation is excellent.

The term transformational leadership was first introduced by J.V. Downton in 1973 (Northouse, 2016).

If only this was consistently understood by all leaders! I am intrigued by the concept of “ethical authenticity” and curious if the Leadership Standards you reference actually include […]
Bantu Blog Post Rank-Talk-Write Link: https://create.twu.ca/b4ntu/2018/05/17/learning-activity-2-rank-talk-write/ I really liked how you tied the concept of “Designing our Boxes” to the need for setting goals and a direction so that the next “box” doesn’t end up being just a dream rather than a reality, and the “steps would be faint for what to do next” (I […]
As already expressed by many of my fellow students this was an exercise that proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated. There is a lot of great information to deliberate on in the Unit 3 unit notes, and ranking these concepts in order of importance was quite the mental exercise. In the end […]
Good evening again, Trying to piece by piece work through the orientation and hoping that at the pace that I am going I will get through it all by May 2nd. Signed up for hypothes.is tonight and was able to use the program successfully to add my own annotations as directed. I am pleased with […]
