ACTIVITIES

Leading Hollywood

Watch a film featuring strong leaders, such as Captain Phillips, Lincoln, Argo, Dangerous Minds, or The Devil Wears Prada. How did the leaders in the film embody one or more of the views of leadership? Give specific examples. Did they adapt their styles to certain situations or people? How successful were their leadership styles? How do you think their leadership styles could be improved?

Practicing Problem Solving

Working with a small group of classmates, choose a campus problem—such as student parking, food services, or student health services—and apply the structured problem-solving approach to identify a potential solution. Share your solution with the rest of the class, and then analyze how well the group worked together using the structured problem-solving approach and what you would do differently in the future.
