For me, this past year was a year of change and positive turnarounds. The biggest event in my professional life happened when I realized that my previous educational institution had deceived me and many others in the most disappointing way. My discovery about Thierry’s lack of academic accreditation was received with amazement and shock by many colleagues. On a positive note, I managed to make sure that future damage could be prevented; without its proper academic accreditation, this school cannot award (or sell, for that matter) Masters and PhD degrees anymore.
What does 2010 have in stock?
This coming year will be a new beginning for me and my studies of Authentic Leadership. My work and pursuit of a doctoral degree will continue at the Fernuniversitaet Hagen, Germany, and I’m excited about my involvement in the department of Business Administration. I have already started to explore other research areas and established new contacts.
This blog has become an important part of my work on Authentic Leadership. Informal writing about the topic that interests me most helps me to gather my thoughts and forces me to keep academic studies relevant and practical. I see blogging as a form of leadership because it is an influencing tool; I also accept the responsibility that comes with that.
Thank you all for reading my posts, for participating and for spreading the word in 2009 – let’s continue this path in 2010 together.
Let me wish you all a fantastic New Year 2010!
Hi Andrea, I'm sitting on a social media training workshop now and they asked us to blog someone - so it's you!
ReplyDeleteBeen meaning to contact you to tell you about my wonderful break 'down under' (later).
Meanwhile, I'd love to have your comments on my new website. Not activated blogging yet so watch this space...
Best,
Peter
