Discussion 1. Talking to on-campus recruiters, strong leadership skills is the most frequently mentioned attribute sought in college graduates. Discuss the importance of leadership to the effective management of construction projects. What differentiates management and leadership? What makes a good leader? Share an example of good or bad leadership that you have personally experienced. Lastly, where do you stand in your personal growth as a leader? What skills do you seek to improve before graduation?

Discussion 2. The manner in which information flows continues to evolve. What was once communi-cated face to face or on the phone happens through e-mail or a text message? An owner report that was once published and submitted in hard multiple copies on a monthly basis is now posted electronically on the Web for all to see. Project information is now available instantly and automatically. Decisions that once needed to occur in the home office can now happen in the field. Describe what you see as the organizational and managerial chal-lenges to the creation and distribution of large quantities of project information. Take an example (say a daily report) and describe what you see as the protocol that should be used to safely and expeditiously distribute this information. In your answer identify in what form this report should be sent, who approves it, who sees it.
