Level Three LeadershipFinal Project General Feedback Jim Clawson 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.
