Title of Presentation: Revisioning Leadership

Dr. Clarke-Yapi  has provided us with several copies of a 8 page article she would like us to read ahead of time.  I will have it placed on ereserve shortly (we are swamped with requests for class reserves which take precedence) but paper copies can be picked up in my office in the Library in the meantime.

She writes: The article "Inside Kraft's Leadership Corridor" by Vishwanath and Blenko, re-visions the way we think about leadership and its development. I am particularly fond of the case study method that is used and the representation of a process that honors the importance of context. (Leader to Leader published by Jossey Bass, Fall 2004 issue.)

Looking out further in the semester, the statewide WWHEL organization is once again sponsoring regional all day workshop forcusing on women's leadership.
