A team of faculty members met many times to construct the program. The programthat was developed included the following: 1. Synchronous, interactive delivery was achieved with a software tool called Macromedia Breeze (now Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional). Synchronous distance education connects students and professors in real-time. The software allowed meeting participants to broadcast and to receive live video and audio using inexpensive webcams and headsets. 2. Classes were scheduled from 7:00 to 9:30 PM Eastern time. 3

Katz, 1995, suggests a researcher specializing in the study ofleadership approaches, suggests that effective leadership in the workplacedepends on the leader having three personal skills. First there are the technicalskills are those, which demonstrate the leader’s proficiency in specific workactivities. Next, human skills or people skills that a leader uses with upper-levelmanagement, peers and subordinates and finally conceptual skills, those skills thatdemonstrate the individual’s ability to translate ideas and concepts in tosuccessful projects.Lab
