Insights Discovery, a Jungian based personality assessment tool, has been widely used and adopted at UHCL to promote individual and organizational effectiveness. From use in courses such as Stepping Up to Supervisor and Leaders in Action, to departmental trainings, Insights Discovery has become a colorful fabric of the culture at UHCL.
The framework of Insights promotes the following:
Awareness of self
Awareness of others
Increase in ability to adapt and connect to others
Development of useable interpersonal strategies
Enabling individuals to take action
The Box Project
If you have ever seen the movie, Pay-it Forward, then understanding the practice behind "read-it" forward will be a breeze. Simply put, in the summer of 2008 participants of the Leaders In Action program were so moved by the content of Leadership and Self Deception: The Art of Getting Out of the Box, that they hoped to get the book in the hands of as many poeple on campus as possible. Hence the birth of "The Box Project".
In it's simplistic format, The Box Project seeks to educate and inform campus community members on the principles from the book, Leadership and Self Deception: The Art of Getting Out of the Box. Currently there are 15 copies of the book floating around the UHCL campus community. When one person finishes, they pass the book on to another, and so on, and so on.
If you are interested in joining The Box Project, you may pick up your own copy of the book at any on line retailer, or bookstore. For your convienience, a digital copy of the book may be accessed on the UH Libraries electronic catalog.
