Leader Identity and Development

Catalog description

The focus of this course is on leader development by examining how leader identity is socially constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed by self and others. Specific attention is given to the identity and development of leader as mediator. Students examine selected theories, practices and mental models that inform the capacity for constructively engaging conflict, both intrapersonal and interpersonal, toward transformative ends, within a context of complex and interdependent human systems.
