Hi Everyone,

I could use what I think should be easy help from you to prepare for the career workshop.  This should take just a few minutes of your time.

IEEE.org has career and employment resources.  I’d like to know which ones you use.  Could you spend a couple of minutes to write a short summary of what you use and optionally how helpful.   This would include IEEE links, mailing lists, books, magazines, newsletters etc.  Please complete before July 18. 

A short list would look something like.

                  IEEE CAREER ALERT — keeps me in informed.

                  Tech Alert — keeps me informed of trends.

Thanks for your help.

Abstract: Servant Leadership and the 3-H model (Head, Hands, Heart) of holistic leadership are the focus of the lecture.   A holistic leader is where a healthy head, hands, and heart converge.  Leadership is from within and must be authentic.  Use of specific praise is a legitimate human need and is essential to healthy relationships.  Catch your employees doing something “right” and recognition will produce positive habits.  To lead you must serve which is the core foundation for servant leadership.

About the invited speaker:Lynn Seibold is the Fab1 Production Manager at Micron Technology, Inc. in Boise, ID.  Lynn is an Idaho Native who started his career at Micron as an entry level operator in 1988 and went on to hold several leadership positions including a 1 year expatriate assignment to Singapore.

Aside from the fact that Lynn Seibold has extensive leadership experience, he is also a very eloquent speaker.  I am sure you would find his presentation enjoyable and insightful.
