Leaders as value innovators • These are the blocking, tackling and ball handling of the leadership world

Example • Individuals review frameworks and brainstorm ideas. • Meet as team to discuss and frame • Send instructor an email to get reaction and reframe if necessary • Select point-person to facilitate group work to draft, revise and post final version of challenge Select a behavior change challenge that is relevant to each member of your team.
