10/28 Workshop: Leadership is Everybody’s Business featuring Author Jim Kouzes (4:30pm Mitten Hall Great Court)

Award-winning and bestselling author, Jim Kouzes, has been investigating the practices of exemplary leadership for over twenty-five years. His, and coauthor Barry Posner's, extensive research has produced solid evidence, compelling case studies, and enduring insights on how exemplary leaders consistently get extraordinary things done in organizations. In his keynote on October 28, 2008 at Temple University Jim will present some of the enduring truths and sustainable lessons uncovered in his and Barry’s research.

What You Will Learn
As a result of participating in this program, you will learn:

• Why it is critical to our society that we develop student leaders now.
• The one fundamental that is the foundation of all leadership—something that has remained the same for that last 25 years and is not likely to change for the next 25 years.
• Why challenge is the opportunity for greatness.
• The glue that holds all leader and team relationships together.
• What it takes to become the best leader you can be, and why it isn’t talent.
• What's at the heart of all leadership.
• The secret to success in life – seriously.

Temple University LeaderShape Vision Showcase
Following Jim’s keynote address, he will be available for a book signing, and The Student Leadership Challenge will host a LeaderShape Vision Showcase, where 2008 LeaderShape graduates will share their visions for the future "in a world of possibility" created at the May LeaderShape Institute. This will enable students who attended the 2008 LeaderShape Institute to share their vision statements and build connections with the campus and surrounding community. Visions are big-picture ideas of what the student would like to see in the world. This event entire event includes the opportunity to mix and mingle with the LeaderShape graduates and the greater Temple community. Our hope is to connect students with faculty, staff and community members who can assist them in realizing their visions.

Jim Kouzes is the Dean's Executive Professor of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University, and the coauthor with Barry Posner of a dozen leadership books, including the internationally acclaimed, The Leadership Challenge, now in it's 4th edition with over 1.5 million copies sold and available in sixteen languages.
