Making 'teamership' as important as leadership
BY NEIL TAMBE
When I sing “The Victors” or read the University’s mission statement, I always think about how we might be missing the point. Both those pieces of Michigan rhetoric affirm the need for leadership, making it seem like leadership development is the major focus of the University. Leadership is obviously important, but our University is doing us a disservice by promoting leadership as a pancea without fully articulating the importance of teamwork. Why isn’t teamwork held up right next to leadership?
You, your e-mail and the election
BY KATE PEABODY
You’re connected. Whether you check your e-mail once a day or every time your Blackberry hums, you are a part of the digital age. I don’t blame you for being obsessed with your colorful Gmail tabs or your new iPhone application. But take five minutes that you would have spent Facebook stalking and stalk a different — albeit relevant — topic.
