Ideas about what leadership is vary around the globe. Traditionally, leadership has often been viewed as a hierarchy with one person at the top, directing the way. However, some contemporary leadership models reflect a collaborative approach. Given this year’s public affairs theme, “Leading in a Global Society”, Missouri State University wants to know how YOU view leadership. Get creative and film an example of what leadership looks like to you. Video submissions will begin at the end of January. The deadline for submissions will be March 16, 2011. All members of the MSU community (students, faculty and staff) are strongly encouraged to submit videos. In addition, a video contest will be held solely for the students. First place will receive $300, second place $150, and third place $75! So take time over Christmas break and start filming so that you’ll be ready to submit your work when the time comes! For questions or more information, contact Amy Hastings in Public Affairs Support at amy12384@missouristate.edu or 836-8935.
