Sports Leadership: How Leaders Help Teams Flourish

(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Every year, sports publicly provide us with examples of teams that experience success not because of their talent but because of the team's ability to perform together in a way that makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. This class will explore and seek to understand what happens on those teams and how leaders across industries can create the "chemistry" that helps the team get "in the zone". Through intentional practice and reflection, students will develop and enhance the skills needed to lead their teams in the future: self-awareness, empathy and perspective taking, relationship building, and communication.
