student. Some students will not have all subordinates and may use a different
category. Assessments will be completed and submitted prior to the seminar.
Assessments will be processed and summary data provided at the seminar.
There will be opportunities at the seminar for students to review their

plan on what areas they want to work on over the next year. Topics include:
Career Transition, reinventing ourselves, implications of different leadership
styles, action plans for the future.
Coaching: Myers-Briggs

This seminar will not meet on campus, but rather students will complete
pre-seminar assignments related to their own personal leadership development
plan created in the previous seminar, and participate in a 2-hour group
conference call (limited to 8 students and a Certified Coach) to discuss
operationalization of the plan, challenges, and how things might be improved.
Topics include the pre-reading of articles, setting up an alliance with
your employees, mastering your personal power, moving your life forward
and taking action and other topics students indicate they would like
to discuss.
