15.321  Improv. Leadership: In the Moment Leadership

Reminder: Evaluations Close Monday Dec 18 at 9am

Hello Class Members,

It's hard to believe that our 7-wk course and semester is already over!
I have greatly enjoyed getting to know you and collaborating together in the creation of an interactive Improvisational Leadership and Influence learning laboratory.

Here is the link for you to submit a subject evaluation for our course 15.321: http://web.mit.edu/subjectevaluation/evaluate.html
The evaluation window closes this coming Monday, December 18 at 9am.
I hope you will take a moment to submit your evaluation online before the window closes.
I know that this is an incredibly busy time of year. Your evaluation will be greatly appreciated and will help prospective future students as they make their bidding choices in the coming semesters.

I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. Keep in touch!

warmly,
Daena

Final Paper Prompts Improvisational Leadership/Daena Giardella

Hello class members,

I have posted the Final Paper Prompts, which I will discuss in more detail tomorrow in class. Note: there are 3 Parts to this paper. The Final Paper is due Friday, 15 December at 2pm. Please leave it in the box outside my office at E62-417. Because this Final Paper incorporates reflections on material covered in our final class #7, please submit it sometime later that week in the Box outside my office, rather than bringing it to class.

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.

See you tomorrow,
Daena

There was excellent participation during our class tonight that enabled us to delve into the important topic of sexual harassment and the team, organizational, and improvisational leadership challenge and opportunity that it presents. I appreciated the honest engagement and insightful contributions you brought to that Subgrouping Subtext Exercise as well to the Manager/Employee/Coach Performance Review Simulation.

Enjoy your holiday break!
