Leadership for Emerging Business Professionals

3 credits · Graduate

There are few topics in business that receive as much attention as does the topic of 'leadership.' The opinions range from the centrality of leadership to success to the theory that leadership is a romantic conception that does not exist, nor impact outcomes, in the real world. This course will examine that range of opinions and research findings about leadership, as part of the search for understanding of what leadership is to the individual and to the organizational world at large. As future leaders, you need to understand what constitutes effective and ethical leadership. This course then will also include learning about oneself as a leader, as well as about the topic of leadership in the abstract. FORMATS: Lecture | Discussion
