We illustrate this idea using the Four Domains ofLeadership Strength (Rath and Conchie, 2008) and point out to our students that by celebratingtheir strengths, they can develop highly functional teams that overcome their individualweaknesses. Further, we implement best practices, making evidence-based adjustments to ourteaching. We model being receptive to constructive criticism by checking with students aftereach unit to see what is or is not effective for their learning. We routinely use this studentfeedback to tweak activities and improve the course. In this way, we generate a classroomenvironment in
