Cornell Notes: 5 Pillars of Effective Leadership
For this exercise, I watched the Ted Talk “5 Pillars of Effective Leadership” by Ari Zucker (https://www.ted.com/talks/ari_zucker_5_pillars_of_effective_leadership).
I found it difficult to follow this particular talk because each time the speaker listed the 5 characteristics the order was different. Also, I tended to go directly to key ideas — I think because this talk wasn’t coherently organized for me.
Because I take notes digitally rather than long hand, I created a Word document based on the Cornell notes format.
Many years ago, I learned about note taking with different coloured pens (I wonder if the person who told me about this approach was actually describing the Cornell Notes approach). I didn’t last long with the coloured pens — it was very disruptive for me. My notes consisted of notes with summary ideas highlighted by drawing circles around them. For me, taking very detailed notes has always been a way of learning. And since I seldom go back through my notes, the legibility wasn’t that important to me. When I was asked to take minutes of critical meetings, attendees often commented it felt like I had recorded everything that had been said.
I can see how notes taken this way could result in great study notes for exams.
