Leadership: Is Anyone Ready to Go?
The Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) invites you attend a presentation by David Tiede entitled Leadership: Is Anyone Ready to Go?"
Date: Thursday, April 23
Time: 5:30 p.m. social time with refreshments; 6:00-7:00 p.m. presentation
Place: Marshall Room, Christensen Center
Leadership happens in change. If your organization wants to keep things the same, they will not welcome a leader. Getting a title on your door isn't automatically leadership.
How dynamic or stable is your organization? How far will they move when coerced by fear? Can your vision of a preferred future draw them beyond their comfort zones? Are you willing to pay the price of leadership? This workshop is intended to help you analyze your real situation, assess your organization's and your own readiness for change, and appreciate the joy, risk, and courage of a leadership calling.
About the Speaker
David Tiede is the Bernhard M. Christensen professor of vocation at Augsburg and emeritus professor and president of Luther Seminary. He received his PhD from Harvard and writes on the Jewish and cosmopolitan world of the New Testament. Tiede came to Augsburg in 2005 and became a fan of the MAL program, collaborating with Norma Noonan on the "Called to Lead" seminars.
For more information or to reserve a space in this free workshop, please contact Patty Park (612-330-1150 or parkp@augsburg.edu).

Free TV
Older model TV, 17"x 17" screen. The TV is in great shape. TV has cable jack, and will work fine if you have cable for the digital tv transition. Because of its age it does not have a DVD jack. However, I have a DVD/Cable modulator so you can hook up your DVD player, this will be included. Also included is a universal remote (and instructions), I lost the original remote a few years ago and needed to replace it with a universal one.
I have recently gotten a new TV and understand that because of its age, this one isn't worth much. I would rather give it to someone who wants it than recycle it, etc.
If you live on campus I can bring it to your residence hall. If you are off-campus you can pick it up from me at my office on campus. Please email nugent@augsburg.edu if you are interested. Thanks!
