Management and Leadership

Catalog description

Are leadership and management the same thing? How are they similar? How are they different? Why is it important to be both an effective leader as well as an effective manager? The course will introduce students to principles of management and leadership in today?s complex organizations. We will review the basics of both leadership and management with an emphasis on those topics that are important today: ethics, social and emotional intelligence, sustainability and working in a virtual world. This course will draw attention to how these concepts apply to each student currently as well as how it may later in life.
