Proseminar in Business Leadership I

0.5 Unit · Undergraduate

This is the first course in a two-part proseminar series that is required for all students in the Organization Behavior: Business Leadership Program (BLP). This five-week course provides students with an introduction to the BLP program, its courses, faculty, goals and learning outcomes. The course also supplements the content in ORG BEH 307 Leadership Principles and Practice by focusing on personal strengths (as revealed by the StrengthsFinder assessment) and views of leadership. Students will articulate their own views of leadership, reflect upon their reasons for pursuing their education, identify their own strategies for success in the program, and set program goals. The proseminar series will conclude with the second course (ORG BEH 398-B), taught by Jen Baker, which follows in the second five weeks of this fall quarter. This course alternates in-person class sessions on the Chicago campus with asynchronous online work. The class meetings will occur on September 25, October 9, and October 23. We will be joined by Jen Baker for our last meeting, providing a transition to her course. We will meet between 12:05 to 1pm, with lunch provided. Credit for this course is 0.5 units. Enrollment in this course reserved for Organization Behavior: Business Leadership Program students only.
