Proseminar in Business Leadership II

0.5 Unit · Undergraduate

This is the second course in a two-part proseminar series that is required for all students in the Organization Behavior: Business Leadership Program (BLP). This second five-week course will explore communication and interaction in the working world, using the students’ professional persona as the basis for examination. We will determine how we communicate in the workplace and how we portray ourselves as a professional, in order to continue to develop and grow. Additionally, we will use our personal and professional branding to consider soft skills and communication etiquette, collaboration, as well as virtual communication. This is a hands-on course, where we will learn about, practice, and use skills that can be directly applied in your current workplace and in your future workplace endeavors. This course alternates in-person class sessions on the Chicago campus with asynchronous online work. The class meetings will occur on October 23 (in conjunction with Peter Kaye’s Organizational Behavior 398-A course), November 6, and November 20. 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.
