Leadership in Organizations

Catalog description

Leadership is an important part of organizational life and can be broadly understood as those behaviors and approaches that have the ability to influence ideas, actions, and outcomes in organizations and in society. In this course, we will examine different theories and approaches to leadership and then apply them in the context of inclusion and innovation. In today’s world, leading innovations in an inclusive way is important for the well-being of organizations/firms specifically and society broadly. Many different notions and practices of leadership co-exist, sometimes harmoniously and sometimes at odds with each other. Both technical and non-technical individuals must learn how to lead successfully in different contexts ranging from start-ups to well-established organizations across industries and sectors.
