TRUE LEARNING REQUIRES APPLICATION “Learning is not a spectator sport. We do not learn much by just sitting and listening, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. We must talk about what we are learning, write about it, relate it to past experiences, and
(actively)
apply it to our lives.” “Seven Principles for Good Practice,” AAHE Bulletin, 1987, p.3

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – SUCCESS BEGINS WITH… Q: Who really achieves their full potential?
The essential ingredients Clear and honest self appraisal of your strengths and areas for development.
Focus on a goal, create a plan Be prepared for success and some set backs (view those as learning) Development is often as much about mindset as it is about acquiring new skills and changing behaviors. For instance, if you want to be a good leader then you have to WANT to lead people…(i.e. not just be a technical expert): 11 Copyright ©2009 RHR International LLP. All Rights Reserved.

REALIZING YOUR POTENTIAL: YOU ARE UNIQUE (IT STARTS WITH YOU) You are unique – accept that. Your
strengths and talents
are unique to you. How you see the world is unique to you – your
assumptions
, your
beliefs, values
and what ‘you stand for as a person’ are unique to you. Your leadership ‘shadow’ is unique …..
Make the best of your strengths and be intentional in your leadership impact. 12 Copyright ©2009 RHR International LLP. All Rights Reserved.
