The Leadership Challenge

Catalog description

Why wait to learn leadership in the workplace? Research in leadership indicates that anyone can be a leader, regardless of age or experience. This course challenges students to examine their own leadership potential through an on-campus experiential internship. Throughout the semester students will apply Kouzes and Posner's five practices of exemplary leadership (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart) to enhance their own leadership experience. Students will also engage in activities, both in and outside of the classroom, that challenge them to ultimately discover the psychology behind leadership by practicing it.
