"Follow the three Ps when listening to new ideas: Respond positively, talk about possibilities, then discuss problems and challenges. As a leader you need to provide a nurturing environment so that your employees are not afraid to come up with new ideas. You need to encourage people to take risks." -- Vice President for Outreach Craig D. Weidemann talking about effective leadership during his keynote address to Pennsylvania CareerLink leadership at the Information Sciences and Technology Building cybertorium on the University Park campus.

Representatives from PA CareerLink's 90 statewide locations were on campus in early June for the first of seven leadership training sessions coordinated by Penn State Management Development and conducted by Penn State faculty.
