Unit 1 - Introduction to Leadership Theory |
|
Activity: |
Overview |
Now that you are a graduate
learner, your reading assignments are designed to unveil the numerous and many
facets of the literature in each unit topic. We know there is a lot to read. We
want you to read as much as you can. However, you will be reading for the
themes and patterns, not for memorization, as in former education and
professional experience at the undergraduate and master's levels. Graduate
education requires you to understand the literature content as themes,
patterns, concepts, and knowing where to go for specifics should you want to
build upon the literature for your theory and intellectual work.
