Pre-assignment
Completion requirements
Opened: Wednesday, 23 August 2023, 10:41 AM
Due: Monday, 4 September 2023, 8:00 PM
Idea of the pre-assignment is to orient you towards the themes of this course: leadership and working in groups. We will also be using the pre-assignment as a first step for the group task you will be working on during the course.
Your task:
- Read one of the preassigned books and choose one topic you would like discuss further during the course. Write a short summary on your chosen topic (a few lines is enough). What are the key points?
- Connect these points to your own work experience. Formulate a question or challenge based on your experience about leadership and/or working in group settings. We will use some of these “cases” or “working problems” during the course.
- Send your document (with topic, few discussion points about the topic, and your question / challenge) to Mycourses. Deadline is the day we meet: Monday 4th of Sept.
Your document can be written in English or Finnish. But note that the cases will be discussed in small groups that will be working in English, so if you return your assignment in Finnish, please be also prapared to discuss the main points of your reflections in English.
If you have any questions, you can contact me: mari.kaki@beamcoach.com
