Link: https://create.twu.ca/charliemable/2018/05/22/light-from-many-lamps-courage-and-the-conquest-of-fear/ I appreciate the personal example that you gave in linking this back to how you want to improve as a leader. I agree with you – watching someone go through challenges, particularly a loved one, reminds me to be grateful and to count my blessings. I also find that when I watch someone […]
Transformational Leadership Précis
The term transformational leadership was first introduced by J.V. Downton in 1973 (Northouse, 2016). Academic study in this area began in the early 1980’s, and the body of evidence has grown substantially. As the name implies, transformational leadership transforms people, both the leader and the follower, by raising the level of morality and motivation (Northouse, […]
Unit 4: Transformational Leadership

“Blessed is He Who Has Found His Work” – Light From Many Lamps Assignment 2

Many working people set their sights on the […]

Response to Rank-Talk-Write Blog Posts
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 […]
Rank-Talk-Write
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 […]
