I think the most important and useful aspect of this class for me personally has been a realization of my strengths and weaknesses. This course, I hope, have set me on my leadership and self-improvement journey.
The course reader I think has lot of good articles and I did have chance to go through some of them including "Ten Tips for Effective Leadership Communication: Rules of the Dance", "Understanding Communications in One-To-One Relationships", and "Managing Your Boss". I am going to admit that I have not been as diligent on the reading assignments as I should have been (Hope I will not be penalized for being truthful), and as I result, I was unable to take hundred percent advantage of the available material.
I think each of us have different learning style which suits us the best, so while each activity might have varying level of effectiveness, I think overall all the activities were useful and productive.
One book that has been on my bookshelf for quite a while now (still not finished reading it) is "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey. Habit 2 (Begin with the End in Mind) discusses mission and personal charter, Habit 4 (Think Win/Win) and Habit 5 (Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood) are interesting.
