Organizational Leadership - EDUC 705 Fall 2013 Dr. Thelma More-Stewart Reflection… My first course of the doctoral journey... Professor Moore-Stewart provided opportunities for us to learn about dynamics of organizations and cultures of schools through the metaphors present in Gareth Morgan's book Images of Organization in a variety of ways: student lead discussions, presentations, professor facilitated discussions and a wide range of guest speakers. These speakers included administrators of Institute of Higher Education, Graduates of the CSUSB doctoral programs and the President of CSUSB. This course gave me the opportunity to reflect of my own leadership styles and the leadership practices of my organization and write scholarly papers. Concepts of trust in leaderships and the stages of trust based on the book Trust Matters by Tschannen-Moran was discussed in-depth. |
