Assignments and Deadlines

Dear Friends and Lecturers;

To be frank, assignments and deadlines have become challenging struggles as the responsibility of requirements heavier than the feeling of inactivity. I am trying my best to motivate myself for these struggles. I call them as a 'struggle' because the education system in Turkey is slightly different than the system of the United Kingdom. However i am absolutely sure that I am going to accomplish the goals which were set by our lecturers.

On the other hand, I also try to read academic articles and journals for my dissertation project when I seize an opportunity. What is more I sometimes try to read some important chapters which I think they are related with my subject from a couple of books yet the deadlines of our recent assignments have been more crucial than our dissertation. Admittedly, we will have time to do our research for the topics that we have chosen for the dissertation but now we have a very limited time to submit our assignments.

Here is the latest up to date academic journals and research books that i would recommend you to have a look;

Doig, J.W., and Hargrove, E., C., 1987. Leadership and innovation. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press.

Galie, P., J., and Bopst, C., 2006. Machiavelli & Modern Business: Realist Thought in Contemporary Corporate Leadership Manuals, Vol.65, pp.235-250.

Eyal, O., and Kark, R., 2004. How do Transformational Leaders Transform Organisations?: A study of the relationship between leadership and entrepreneurship. Leadership and Policy in Schools, Vol: 3:3, pp.211-235.

All the best
