Real World Application:  No 'serious person' should doubt man behind climate change, says Tony Blair  What do you think about the prime minister’s commentary on global warming?  Do you think that the issue is blown out of proportion?  Global warming is a great example of a topic that you can find leadership in the “pros” as well as the “cons”.  It comes down to personal beliefs.  Any thoughts?

There are several times when we complain about not having enough hours in the day to take care of our responsibilities.  When people say this, I think about highly productive people and I think we all have the same amount hours just not the same motivation or circumstances. Time is one of our most valuable assets. I hope we all learned how to manage our time through planning and prioritizing our most important/urgent tasks.

How many times are we consumed with focusing on meaningless tasks? Think about the amount of time we spend on social media or just doing nothing when we can use that time to complete important tasks. Sometimes we are consumed with doing nothing, don't think we have to have every moment fulfilled with a daunting task! Just know we have to prioritize, write-out your plan & execute! Dilbert is one of my favorite comics! Look at how Dilbert manages his time!

This week we are talking about working together! How important is it to work together? Team work can make a difference in achieving a goal. Online learning can be seen as a way to stifle group collaboration but we can easily come together by several ways through journals and discussion forum posts. Throughout the course, the forums can be an alternative way of encouraging online team work. Take a look at one of my favorite quote from one of basketball's greatest player:

Business News Weekly took the perspective of 10 prominent business leaders, Kendra Coleman a consultant with Sheppard Moscow defines leadership as the following:

For me, Leadership is an act — a decision to take a stand, or step, in order to encourage, inspire or motivate others to move with you. What's more, the most effective leaders do not rely on their title, or positional power, to lead. Rather, their ability to use their own personal power combined with their use of strategic influence are what make them effective. Kendra Coleman, a consultant atSheppard Moscow, a firm that specializes in business transformation and employee engagement.
