Feedback

March 2006
General Comments
• Wow!
• Spectacular Creativity!
• Wide Variation in Content
and Approach
• All likely to be helpful to
you…and that’s the main
thing.
• Here’s how I assessed
the projects…
Introduction
• Was there one?
• Did you set up to remind
yourself in five years?
• Did you put the project in a
context…
• Some used Life’s Story…
sometimes hard to read so
small.
Personal Charters
• Varied widely in skill.. Some
very good, some thin.
• Values and Core Leadership
Principles should overlap.
• Some misconceptions about the
definitions.
Core Values
• Are you aware of what you
believe?
• Sources one thing, what they
are is another.
• Better projects assessed keep,
lose, add
• Diagram their relationship?
Life’s Dreams
• Some did both LDext and LDint
• Some confused about LDint:
how you want to feel, not what
you want to do.
• Some clear and crisp, many still
a bit confused.
Leadership Model
• Could I follow the logic?
• Were the elements linked in
clear ways?
• Did it incorporate key concepts
in the course?
Course Take-aways
• What else did you learn in the
course that you want to
remember?
• Is there a logic to the
connections among these
things?
Conclusion
• Was there one?
• Too abrupt?
• Concluding thoughts to me and
to yourself?
Presentation
• Did the presentation follow the
four basic elements of effective
leadership language: clear,
memorable, respectful, and
authentic?
• Impact?
• Transitions?
• Readable? Able to follow?
Less Powerful Projects
• Didn’t address the assignment
• Didn’t connect with the content
of the course
• Seemingly random thoughts
without an unfolding logic
• Lack of introduction and
conclusion
• Light logic
Better Projects
• Clear opening and closing
• Addressed the assignment elements
and then some ..
• Memorable in both style and content
• Reveals the author—not arm’s length
at Level Two: reflectively thoughtful
• Hung together leading to a
crescendo: wow!
Next
• Voice mail by email coming your
way
• Won’t be complete, one to four
thoughts for your consideration
for refinement and polishing
Thank You
•
•
•
•
Lots of dynamite discussions
Real exploration taking place
Fun and engaging conversations
Spectacular set of final projects
Request
• If you are willing to
volunteer to let next time’s
class see your presentation,
please send me an e-mail
okaying that. SO they can
see some examples…
• Live long, prosper, fulfill
your dreams, and if you have
a moment, let me know
about it.
