Extreme Leadership

Catalog description

This course provides students an opportunity to explore leadership in high risk or "extreme" environments through a series of case studies. Emphasis is placed on the human factors (i.e. physical, mental, emotional, neurological and physiological) that can influence a leader's decision making in extreme circumstances. Upon completion, students should be able to identify how stress impacts effective decision making and how leadership can contribute to or detract from survival under extreme circumstances.
