Module 9 Course Reflections

Please enjoy my video demonstrating a reflection on the course material in MSLD 511 - Organizational Leadership. I discuss how my definition of leadership has changed since the beginning of this course and the ideas I found most powerful. These concepts will aid me as a leader in my personal and professional life.
