2nd Reaction Post

Good Morning,
Today I want you to write about:
1. Your reactions to what you have read so far since last time you posted. Have any of your thoughts about the book changed? What has stood out so far? What do you agree/disagree with?

2. Have your views of what you thought leadership was changed in any way so far? If so How?

3. Can you relate a time when you were put in a leadership position. What was it? How do you feel you did in this position? Is there anything you regret? What would you do differently?

4. Following up from the question above, citing particular quotes or passages from the book, write about something you can use that the author said or did when you are put in leadership role now or in the future.

REMINDER: Each Post is worth 15 points and your reactions to at LEAST 2 classmates is worth 5. Therefore posting one word or one sentence comments back is not going to result in a lot of points. Please take this seriously, I want you to be able to have open dialogue regarding your books.

All of your posting needs to be completed for today. This means all of you that have not completed the 1st assignment. I am still looking for posts from several of you on my blog and your own. Let's get our work done!!!
