Women & Leadership: Strategies for Success ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This capstone course identifies leadership and communication strategies to enable women to communicate with higher levels of confidence and self-belief. Networking and self-promotion strategies to help overcome corporate barriers that limit or inhibit women’s access to upper level positions are examined thoroughly. The course also includes topics about ethical leadership, moral courage, and organizational integrity as important factors characterizing women’s leadership. A competency framework will be used to highlight the relationships between hierarchical levels and executive roles and responsibilities, and examples of successful women executives will be used to illustrate the efficacy of the different strategies.
