Leadership & Team Development — March 6, 2017

Leadership & Team Development with Dr. Jeff King, Director, OSU Leadership Center

In this session, Dr. King will provide information and insights related to personnel issues and working with interdisciplinary teams. In addition, Dr. King will explore specific strategies and programs for continued growth as faculty members.

Please read the message below from Dr. King in order to take the MBTI:

“When people differ, knowledge of personality type lessens friction and eases strain. In addition, it reveals the value of differences. No one has to be good at everything. By developing individual strengths, guarding against known weaknesses, and appreciating the strengths of other personality types, life will be more amusing, more interesting and more of a daily adventure than it could possibly be if everyone were alike.”

~ Isabel Briggs Myers

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a simple and reliable method of determining a person’s individual preferences.  It is designed to “indicate” not test your equally valuable preferences in regard to perception and judgment.  There is no “right” or “wrong” answers.  The indicator is not a measure of your mental health, aptitude, intelligence, maturity, ability, or excellence but rather a self-awareness instrument to learn about your individual gifts and strengths.

When completing the MBTI, please keep in mind that I would like for you to answer the questions in your “shoes-off self” attitude.  Imagine being in your most favorite location where you enjoy spending time without being interrupted by phones, work issues, family, co-workers, etc.  Once you picture this location, please answer the questions from this point of view rather than from how family members want you to be, or from how your co-workers want you to be, or how you wish you could be, etc.

Please complete the MBTI by Thursday, March 2, 2017. 

Completing the assessment generally takes between 10 and 15 minutes.  It must be completed when you log in.  You can’t save and return later.  If you need to leave the site before completing, please start the process over when you log back in.

To complete, log on to:

http://online.cpp.com/en/CPPLandingPage.aspx?projectId=8517af09-6842-4110-a46f-bae391c86fb1 and follow the directions to complete.  If an error message should come up, please cut and paste the address directly into your browser.

I will email your results prior to the start of the First Mondays session on March 6 so watch your inbox.  During our session, I will be providing you with an overview of type and potential implications of your type on your style of communication, decision making, and approach to conflict within teams.  If you have any questions prior to the session or have difficulty call me at (614) 247-5034 or e-mail me at king.20@osu.edu.

I look forward to our discussion on March 6.

Inclusive Excellence — November 7, 2016

Inclusive Excellence with Kathy Lechman

Please join Dr. Kathy Lechman, CFAES Director of Equity and Inclusion for our session on Inclusive Excellence.

“Inclusive Excellence” is a concept stemming from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) that many colleges and universities across the nation have adopted. The focus of inclusive excellence is to build educational environments where students, faculty, and staff can thrive. Through various types of legislation, higher education has become more diverse, but has it become more inclusive? Inclusive excellence is not simply about numbers of students, staff, or faculty. It is about understanding the ways in which we influence the environment around us.

This session will explore the role of implicit bias in recruiting and retaining faculty, staff and students. To make the most of our time I ask each person to visit the Project Implicit site and take two or three of the tests. You will not be asked to share your results, but we will use our experiences with the Implicit Association Test as the basis of our discussion.

Date: Monday, November 7, 2016
Time
: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Location: Agricultural Administration Building 140G, Columbus; Research Services 209, Wooster
