Emerging Leaders I: Leadership Development

Catalog description

The course is about discovering who a participant is, as a person, and as a leader. During the semester, students are introduced to principle-based leadership, self-discovery and self-awareness. Students are asked to define their principles and values and identify their leadership style. On Stephen Covey’s model of The 7 Habits, students recognize how to move from dependency to interdependency, and discover who they are as an individual. Next, students participate in a 2-part intensive career management seminar, which includes career interest inventory and other career management tools. Students then participate in the Big 5 Personality Assessment. Finally the students discover their own authentic leadership approach through the study of True North, taking part in leading sessions with their colleagues.
