Lessons in Leadership

Catalog description

This course explores the primary ideas, values and competencies required for modern day leadership. This course will challenge students to use what they have learned in readings and discussions about leadership to analyze both themselves and well known leaders. Using the case study method, students will consider how the concept of leadership is changing in our dynamic world and will write a case study on a leader. The concept of leadership has been examined and dissected since ancient times, in search of a replicable process which could be somehow infused to create great leaders. From classic theories to situational explorations, the power to lead can create a better town, a more successful company, a more equitable world.
