Leadership Skills

This past term I taught a section of LEAD 101, a course required of all freshman at Maritime.  The course description is:

This course is aimed at introducing the student to college life with emphasis on the unique history and goals of Maritime College, helping the student manage the difficult transitional first-year of college via the formulation of a plan for academic success, and fostering the student’s potential for leadership via the development of self-awareness and interaction with other students from diverse backgrounds.

In addition, in April I assumed the role and responsibilities of an academic department chair.

Thus the notion of leadership skills is doubley important.

This is a preamble to drawing your attenion to Why Executives Are So Bad At The Behavioral Side Of Management in Business Insider.  I suggest a read and a bit of introspection.
