  • 1.  Class activities – Leadership and social networks

    Posted 11-03-2016 12:38

    Dear colleagues,

     

    I teach an MBA session on leadership and social networks and would like to include an experimental activity or simulation. This activity should complement a theoretical input on how network thinking might change how we think about leadership. Of course, I would be happy to summarize and distribute to members of this listserv the suggestions I receive.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Ulrich

    Dear Ulrich,

    I found this networking simulation to work well

    How Network Properties Affect One's Ability to Obtain Benefits: A Network Simulation

    It doesn't address directly the leadership aspect of networking, but I can imagine how it can be modified or re-focused in debriefing to address leadership issues.

    I hope this helps!
