Leadership Communication

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

Although skills in finance, accounting, marketing, operations, and strategy are crucial for achieving success at work, the ability to lead an organization and communicate to internal and external stakeholders are equally important. An understanding of the ways that leaders communicate to effect change is an essential complement to the technical skills you are learning in other courses. This course focuses on the most critical types of communication leaders need to be successful: ways that leaders build effective relationships, motivate others, and influence outcomes. In this course, we are not going to simply examine the techniques and theory used by effective leaders. Rather, this course will push you to practice those techniques, evaluate your own behaviors, give and receive feedback from your peers, and continually hone your own authentic leadership style.
