INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
Welcome to Contrarian Leadership: 21 Strategies to Improve Your Leadership Effectiveness,an accredited Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program. This is a Level 2 CPE program approved for twenty-eight (28) Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs), meaning that the reader has a general knowledge of the literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
This program is designed to help you internalize the leadership imperatives which are essential to your success as a nutrition and dietetics practitioner in the 21st century and beyond. It is also designed to help you earn 28 CPEUs.
The CPE program is organized into 21 chapters, one for each contrarian principle that once mastered will enable you to practice contrarian leadership, which I will define in Chapter 1. To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of situations and challenges from your practice that fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self-assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key and explanations that have been provided. If you score at least 80% (80 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read the appropriate sections of the program, and re-test yourself until you score at least 80% (80 questions) correct.
After you have completed the program, fill out the CPE REPORTING FORM and the MANDATORY Critical Thinking Evaluation Tool (CTT) which per CDR must be completed by all credentialed practitioners and:
