Leading People Teams

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Although skills in finance, accounting, marketing, operations, and strategy are crucial for achieving success at work, the ability to lead individuals, teams and ultimately an organization is equally important. An understanding of the ways that leaders effect change through different modes and models is an essential complement to the technical skills you are learning in other courses. Although we will focus primarily on work, you will find that the course concepts have applications to a variety of organizations, including non-profits, athletic teams, social clubs, and religious and political groups. This course focuses on the most critical skills that leaders need to be successful when leading individuals, teams, and organizations. As such we will cover ways that leaders can build effective relationships, motivate others, and influence outcomes.
