I recently connected with a really nice gentleman named Paul Dickey here at Sac State. From what I understand, Paul worked for E*Trade as an internal auditor and worked his way up for a while. Now he’s taking time off for school, and he’s getting really involved as VP for the campus chapter of the Financial Management Association and also leading a Toastmasters’ group (just what I’ve been looking for!).
In a recent article, Paul asks the important question “can leadership be taught?” He gives a very good explanation of the current beliefs in the field. Leadership is thought to be up to two-thirds emotional intelligence, which is something we aren’t always taught in school. Paul gives a conclusive case why Sacramento State should consider adding leadership teaching to its curricula, and cites several successful institutions who have implemented similar programs (especially the LEADS program prevalent throughout the UC system).
Take a read and maybe you’ll learn a few things about leadership! Anyone Else Interested in Leadership Studies?
