Foundations of Innovative Leadership

2 Credits.

This course is a leadership-intensive seminar and developmental workshop designed to provide foundational experiences, relationships and conceptual frameworks for students who have been accepted into the Center for Innovative Leadership Fellows program. The course uses an experiential learning approach in which students are immersed in a variety of activities and challenges and provided with repeated opportunities for guided reflection and feedback. Students will engage both as leader and follower many times throughout the course. They will build a deeper conceptual understanding of leadership behaviors and skills, practice and hone their own leadership capacity and develop a plan for their ongoing leadership development, particularly as they engage in the Fellows program. In addition, the course provides an opportunity for students to build strong working relationships with one another that they will continue to foster throughout the Leadership Fellows program and beyond.Registration and participation in this course is by application, due to the 10-month commitment to the CIL Fellows program that begins upon successful completion of this course. Applications and course details about the Fellows program can be found on the CIL website: https://carey.jhu.edu/cil-fellows
