Leadership Development Institute

Program

Speaker-discussion series

This series will be focused on sharing perspectives and experiences (both positive and not-so-positive) of leadership such as ethical and moral challenges, and the responsibilities/demands that come with leadership, social responsibility. In general speakers will talk for about 30 minutes and then students will be able to engage in discussion with the speaker and other students (moderated as needed) for the remaining 30 minutes. The focus will be on interaction between students and speakers.

Speakers may include leaders of local associations who have accomplished a great deal with limited funds and with local volunteers, respected business executives, and respected public officials.

Also included in this series are case studies, simulations and movies that can stimulate discussion of leadership.
