Leadership and Change

We convene this class on a day when leadership and change is at the forefront of the U.S. (and global) collective consciousness. Meanwhile many people are fervently seeking innovative ways to tackle global economic problems.

This course and this blog are places for you to present your views and questions about these topics. Some postings will be assigned, but you are encouraged to post ideas, queries and resources at will.

In keeping with the spirit of the day, you may be interested in a posting I made this fall on PubTalk, the Public and Nonprofit Leadership: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/pnlc/pubtalk/2008/09/visionaryleadershipattheco.php To get the Leadership and Change blog started, I have made an entry "Why I Scribble on Your Papers� in the "About This Class Category.� I also encourage you to look at the You Tube segment on mass innovation under "Innovation Society.�

I look forward to our dialogue!
