Thanks to all who responded to my request for recommendations of texts &
supplemental materials for an undergrad course on Leadership & Motivation.
Responses are from: Michael Ayers, Janet Barnes-Farrell, Jan Cleveland, Jeff
Conte, John Curtis, Dutch Driver, Jim Farr, Ken Friedman, Steve Katzman,
Charles Markline, Steven Mellor, Jack Ring, W. Glenn Rowe, Bill Snavely,
Rodney Vandeveer, Pat Weber, & Mihai Zsigmond.
Several folks also sent along additional ideas. One suggestion is to have
the class complete leadership profiles; another is to have the class
subscribe to a leadership listserv. Special thanks to Ken Friedman for
sending along his class syllabus.
