The results are in: my students from the previous semester gave some very positive feedback:

“These past classes truly left an impression on me. They helped me discover things about myself and raised many thoughtful questions. I felt like I gained clarity about what I should and should not do if I want to grow and change for the better.  I truly enjoy your classes because they are never ordinary.  Thank you for being such an amazing teacher.  You were my favorite teacher and I learned a lot from you.”  — Noam Segal

The true value of the course wasn’t just about earning credits, but was an investment in a more grounded perspective on how business functions. I do feel as if I’m leaving this class better prepared to handle professional challenges with both a strategic mind and the motivation to maintain high standards of excellence.  — Sierra Ramos

This course has had a much bigger impact on me than I originally expected. Looking back on everything we covered, I feel like I gained lessons that will help me not only in sales or business, but also in everyday life. — Ensley Nelson

Throughout this course Professor Norwood constantly had students, myself included, challenge themselves.  Every topic he brought up was focused on good judgment, questions to be asked, and not taking anything for granted.  — Amador Cadar

Thank you, Professor Norwood, for being one of the most impactful professors I’ve had. — Cierra Coia

This is my second class with professor Norwood and he impresses me every time. I would take every business class of his if I could. — Mariette Famous

As a result of comments such as those, I have been invited to deliver an 8-week course on the subject of Leadership and Management.  This will be an online course and will be offered to students of Phoenix Gateway College (and anyone can enroll).  The official course title as described in their catalog is Management 229 (or MGT229).  My section is 19321 and will begin on August 24th, ending on October 16th.  The course materials and lectures will all be found on the Canvas learning management system.  If you wish to enroll, you can call 602-286-8000 to get assistance, but you must tell them you want to enroll in Section 19321. 

We will cover a wide variety of important topics, including the distinctions between leadership and management, models of some of great leaders of the past (including Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, and others), and will include a mind-blowing leadership project pertaining to your own leadership journey.  This course will be truly transformative!
