Exploring Leadership

Catalog description

This is an introductory, experiential course on leadership. The course draws from key historical and theoretical references as well as contemporary research and discourse on leadership. Students will explore leadership through the four lenses of Leading Self, Leading Others, Leading Teams, and Leading Communities and Organizations. They will work in asynchronous pairs and small groups to apply what they are learning about leadership to their lives and work. Contemplative and embodiment practices will be offered to strengthen access to personal power and provide opportunities for integration. Students will also be able to reflect critically on the use of power in leadership and to explore leadership theory and practice from the perspective of black, indigenous and feminist perspectives.
