Assignment:

In this course the cases we use will be primarily you own. Since a part of the practice of effective leadership is the capacity to learn from failure, you will find this work most useful if you use the opportunity to reflect on one of your own attempts to exercise leadership that failed or was otherwise disappointing, frustrating, and/or discouraging. You are asked, therefore, to identify a case of your own leadership failure (POST IT ON CANVAS BY JULY 15 at 7pm)
