Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2008-05-12

  • Finally coming back online with a computer, and not just a BlackBerry. Mobile computing is good in a crunch, but not to rely on. #
  • @krosenfeld I was falling asleep while pressing and ironing shirts late last night. #
  • @krosenfeld I like to try public transit whenever I travel, and for all of our transit troubles in NY, the subway system is rather efficient #
  • @krosenfeld Interestingly as well, mass transit is not class or status based, as I find in many other cities. Rather democratic, to be sure. #
  • @coyenator Starting to wonder if there was a weekend in there someplace . . . #
  • Looking forward to the #CP2tech01 conference call this afternoon. #
  • Ate a Veggie Delight sandwich at Subway. Starting the week off healthily. #
  • Working on notes for a project steering committee meeting this Thursday. #
  • Joining the #cp2tech01 phone conference at the beginning of Week 3. #
  • @abalone Wonderful. Just got onto the call. #
  • @skydaddy yumm #
  • Interesting way of introducing people on the #cp2tech01 call. Introduce yourself and mention which tool you most like or are challenged by. #
  • #CP2tech01 I like WebCrossing and Twitter (of course). #
  • #CP2tech01 call is discussing waving in different contexts. Feeling lost. Skype is breaking up and quite a challenge to listen to. #
  • #CP2tech01 Not sure I understand the wave concept. Can’t see it. #
  • #CP2tech01 Completely lost. Getting frustrated. Perhaps the workshop in general forgot all people cannot see the chat? #
  • @shirleyearley Not quite addicted (me), rather I am amazed at its plethora of uses. #
  • #CP2tech01 There are a lot of tools, and they can be a challenge if we are new to them. #
  • @BronSt I think that is a good suggestion for NetVibes. I have an account, but do not know how to use it as you mentioned. #CP2tech01 #
  • @CP2tech01 I think that it is easy to open accounts, but an entirely different thing to know what to do with them. #
  • @abalone Yes; thank you. The challenge is when people say I will send this link or that one, or about muting, etc. #
  • @abalone Is that listed / indexed on the wiki anyplace yet? #
  • @derekcx Still no avatar pic? #
  • @coyenator That is the case for nearly everybody I have spoken too. I wonder why that is the case that it happens only after prolonged use? #
  • @shirleyearley Netvibes seems like a good choice for me. Just created a new account, as it was not very robust last year. #
  • @CP2Tech01 I am not sure what igoogle tools are. #
  • @CP2Tech01 Is igoogle the same as Google email or Google chat? #
  • @BronST Where did you load that screenshot? #
  • Have to leave to run to another meeting #CP2Tech01. Thank you for assistance all with translating the skype texts. #
  • Final meeting at work and into the train. Tonight will finish my lessons for tomorrow’s Leadership course. #
  • Want to use Twitter in the graduate Leadership class I begin teaching tomorrow night. Any ideas how? #
  • @leelefever Oh, you love it, Lee! #
  • @cindybrock Congrats, #
  • @brlamb Vacation? #
  • @BronSt Thank you. #
  • @bdieu Thank you, Bee. So, just the normal Google apps then? #
  • I shared the list of required and recommended texts for my Leadership class that begins tomorrow. Why do people rarely do this publicly? #

Leadership Class (Y52.3300.001)

nyuscps I am teaching a Leadership class at New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies that begins tomorrow. The course is an elective course in the Strategy and Leadership Concentration toward an M.S. in Management and Systems through the Management and Information Technology Program within the Division of Programs in Business.

While the course description is already online for anybody to see here, I thought instead I will lead by setting an example of sharing text references. Academics (and even scholar-practitioners, which is a title I use for my own work) do not easily and publicly share what materials they are using for a certain course, so I thought I will share my required and recommended texts, specifically to assist others who may be building such a leadership course for the first time and are looking for appropriate texts.

Required:

  • Bass, B. M. & Riggio, R. E. (2006). Transformational Leadership (2nd ed.). Mahwah: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. ISBN 0805847626
  • Collins, J. (2001). Good to Great. New York: Collins. ISBN 0066620996
  • Northouse, P. G. (2007). Leadership: Theory and Practice (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications. ISBN 141294161X

Recommended:

  • Kouzes, J. M. & Posner, B. Z. (2007). The Leadership Challenge (4th ed.). San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. ISBN: 0787984914
  • Marquardt, M. J. (2005). Leading with Questions: How Leaders Find the Right Solutions By Knowing What To Ask. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass. ISBN 0787977462

I am expecting great things from my students in this course, and expect to share a bit about the experience between here and Twitter.
