For once I am leaving the library ahead of schedule! I arrived at 1130 and have had a very productive 5 hour session. My productivity was “launched” by some early morning thinking. Increasingly, I am realizing that my best idea generation occurs early in the morning, when I am partially awake and very relaxed. I was able to see how key concepts and discussions about datasets that I have had over the past few weeks can come together for a practical and original solution. My thesis will focus on integrating several areas of the literature that exist in isolation but not in combination. I am hoping that I can use Structured Equation Modelling to evaluate relationships between gender, leadership style, engagement and REAL business results.
I now have a very rough draft research proposal that is about 7000 words. I plan to write another 1000 early next week and then submit the draft paper to my supervisor. I have a school week scheduled for the first week in April, I will use this time to focus complete a solid draft for my supervisor’s review on April 6. We will then meet on April 11th to do a final review. It remains an aggressive schedule but I am committed to staying on track.
I am heading out shortly to complete some errands. Looking forward to this evening, dinner and dancing –woohoo!
