Leader Development with Prof. Jeff Mott
Register at http://www.rossboston.org/article.html?aid=173&nl=16
Research in leadership has drawn distinction between leader development and leadership development. In the case of leader development the emphasis is on human capital, and developing individual knowledge, skills and abilities. Leadership development focuses on building the network relationships that create organizational value.
This presentation examines the characteristics of college basketball coaching lineages that are consistently successful in perpetuating leader development. The roles of both mentoring and social networking will be discussed in this evaluation of coaching lineages. In depth research, inclusive of 30 interviews with college basketball coaches, helped to evaluate critical success factors across generations of leadership. This research also found a relationship between the coaching lineages and success outcomes of those coaches. The presentation will also extend the characteristics of these successful mentoring networks to other professional contexts and discuss relevant applications for individuals and organizations.

Murray Greenberg Book Event
Join us as author Murray Greenberg presents his book Passing Game: Benny Friedman and the Transformation of Football, which follows Friedman, a former Michigan quarterback, and how he brought the forward pass to prominence and forever changed the college game. We will be welcoming Mr. Greenberg at Crema Cafe in Harvard Square (27 Brattle Street, Cambridge) on Thursday February 5. The event will be located upstairs in a private seating area with free appetizers, desserts, and refreshments. Our venue is highly appropriate as its owners, Marley and Liza, are Michigan alums!
