Tomorrow's Leaders

Of all the class activities, I really liked the one where we were trying to figure out which day of the made-up week that the Atlanteans finished building their obelisk. Although each person had a small amount of information, it gave us the opportunity to exercise our leadership skills and collect all the information that each person had and figure out the answer.

Of all the books (other than our own), I really liked Predictably Irrational, because people are irrational creatures and thus it is important to find out what makes each of us tick and how to lead different people who perceive things differently.

I don't really have a book to recommend, but a suggestion is to implement how to lead cross-culturally with the course. The book we focused on (Geography of Thought) did focus somewhat on the Chinese and Western dynamic, but something a little bit more culturally diverse would be extremely useful. The world is getting a lot smaller and having that multi-cultural aspect in the leadership program would ultimately benefit the leaders of tomorrow who most likely have to lead a culturally diverse team.
