The site offers various ways in which the information can be utilized in a classroom both face-to-face and online further to develop understanding and knowledge in a leadership or management. The material presented within the site is quite robust. Navigation of the site simple and well-organized.

The links provide interesting case studies and examples to use in class. There are some good discussion questions to get students going on a topic. The visuals are not bad but could be a bit more attractive. There are lots of ideas for activities, which is quite helpful.

I was particularly impressed with the depth and breadth of the material at this resource site.  Rarely do I find this much material as well organized.  Additionally, because of the depth and breadth available it gave me a broad base for ideas and thoughts to expand the minds and the learning of my students. Well done.

The outline represents a strong knowledge of the fundamentals and serves as an excellent supplement. It offers a wide variety of learning activities that promote group discussion and reflect levels that are appropriate for the concepts presented. I especially like that it includes situational leadership.

I have seen pieces of this before while searching the internet.  Now that I have seen the full site, I know I will use it for myself and for students.  I teach in a Leadership minor program and I enjoyed the learning activities the site provides.  I am particularly happy that leadership is not confused with management here.  Both are useful in an organization, but they are different.

Materials are well organized and cover a wide variety of foundation elements for leadership analysis and self assessment tools. Small group disucssions using Bolman & Deal's four frame model were especially relevant.

Technical Remarks:

Materials all opened without difficulty.

I am currently teaching couple of online leadership courses and found this material very useful. This can be used for basic leadership course at the graduate or undergraduate level.

This page can be used to complement either an Introduction to Management or
Organizational Behavior course. It provides a good introduction to Maslow's
Hierarchy of Needs, McGregor's Theory X vs. Theory Y, and Herzberg's Motivation
Theory. Graphics are visually appealing.
