Response to Steve's question: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I think this is one of the best questions that many of us can and should ask ourselves. In fact, it has inspired my next class lesson -- developing a personal mission statement. Businesses develop mission statements and why not individuals? I'm going to ask students to think about their values and how compatible those will be with their future careers, as they envision them today. I'm going to ask students to think about what people in the workplace can expect of them (as managers or supervisors), and what they will expect of others. This is part of what Ken Blanchard calls developing a "leadership point of view." Have you developed your leadership point of view? krjohnson
