How it Applies to My Organization

The “Aha” Moment

As you study the related materials and think about your responses to the issues in the assigned reading, what is your “aha” moment? What resonated The POJ is more than a mere answering of the issues presented in the assigned activity. You will also need to consider the broader issues or themes and provide analysis about the connection to the learning in this course and your personal experiences. The POJ is designed to help you begin to develop the habit of synthesizing the material you are learning to your role as an emerging leader in the business community.
