Uploading assignments, and reflection papers - a missive to leaders

10 - 11 - 2015

A blessed Sunday greetings to you Leader Siarina:

I saw many assignments draft at the inbox of the website.  However they cant not be published:

Why are the assignments unpublished?

1.  The authors are not identified.  Please be sure to write your name separately on the title or in the body of your paper;

2.  The post say there are attachment. The attachment do not appear in the blog post.  Please copy paste your attachment in the body of the email.

3. You used the wrong email address;  sending to this email add will not do. You have to use the blogger email address.

About the grades.

Paper that are published but with no grade could get 2 or 2.5.  Only 3 and up papers get a published grade.  You can opt to improve your grade prior to the final deadline by improving your paper.    A late paper gets a -1

Why is your grade 2 or 2.5?

1.  It lacked depth of reflection .  Take note that in the syllabus it says you are to be graded on your ability to reflect and be self aware. You should be able to relate the assignment and locate/relate this in the totality of things (that which I write on the white board):  to the self, leadership journey, the things that shaped you as a person and leader, and your passion/answer to the call of leadership.

2. The reflection should cover these areas (as was written in the list of assignments:)

       1.  What was the lesson/s learned?

       2. Relationship of this learning to to what you knew/learned:

             1. Readings from HBR, Lowney, CD readings, class discussion, your other lessons learned on leadership

             2.  To the first day debate;

             3.  Other readings, teachings from your parents, other profs, and your mentors.

        3. How will you further apply these learnings (#1)

When you go back to your respective offices, many times you will have to decide/make judgement calls (or would you often consult or wait for your senior to decide)  You can only do that if you developed the habit of reflection as prescribed in this class, You can only grow as a person and/or a leader if you practice this well under a motivational situation (ie being graded)

PLEASE DO THIS WELL LEADERS

Sincerely

--

Lecturer Jorge Saguinsin

Restatement of guidelines for submission of Reflection Papers/Assignments

'Quamplurimi et quam aptisimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

To   :    Every Class Leaders

Date:    September 24, 2015

I am giving everyone an opportunity to re submit their reflection papers to conform to the content requirements up to Sunday,  September 27, 2015.  The benchmark, which you could exceed is the paper of your Class President  and several others who did well.and the Reflection Papers of the previous class. Publishing the work of others and making them transparent to your classmates increases their learning and puts pressure on them to come up with the best paper they could endeavor to accomplish. You can do that?  Yes you can!  The Leaders at Rockwell, are better than Leaders elsewhere at the AGSB system?! Let us show this....

  It should come close to the format of the HBR must reads where the following (lifted from the post/pages on Class Assignments:
Reflection Papers

Not less than 2 pages 1000 words

Reflection Paper:

It should contain:

1.  What is the new learning?

2.  What is the relation to what I all ready know?

3.  What have I done, am doing, will be doing for this topic?

There seems to be a difficulty in uploading your assignments.  I have repeated in emails and in the class that the site does not accept attachments.  (Some keep saying there are attachments) Copy the contents of your attachment and paste in the email page.

The reflection paper may be in word or powerpoint.  If in power point, upload to a Slideshare account and send using the blog send email address,profjorge.entrep.jermits@blogger.com,  The word reflection paper may be sent in the same manner.  PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION.  YOUR PAPER WILL BE GRADED IF SENT ONLY IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED MANNER!

If your paper does not get published, the reasons could be:

1.  Nothing came out of the blog post because it has an attachment;
2.  The paper does not come up to the standards, you should re submit;
Or it may be published without the grade. The grade could be seen near your name, at the bottom of the page or at the labels

N.B. The paper must be sent uploaded on the designated dates, otherwise there will be 1 deduction for late papers

Here are some notes on DEFINING MOMENTS from this blog  (Please click link)

There should be no conflicting instructions or confusions as with regards to submission of very few assignments because the procedures are written and cut and dried.

N.B. One of the earmarks of good leader is the ability to listen and understand very well, or followership.  Your paper should always bear the hall marks of a great leader - thus you must endeavor to work on your assignments and always give it your best shot.

I call upon all the Leaders to look for magis inside you  so that you will submit very good assignments. <leadership from within>  As of now, most of what I have are lacking in fire and passion and sign that you gave your best effort.

Leader Richard said that self awareness ignites passion in you.  

By next week, the blogsend email address shall be profjorge.entrep.jermits@blogger.com

For your guidance
