Choosing Leadership

Undergraduate / Graduate

Get a head start on your personal leadership development journey by asking critical questions that most others wait to ask such as: What makes me a good leader? How can I improve my leadership skills? How can I add value by creating meaning? What is my definition of leadership? This course is about the practice of leadership. We take the approach that leadership development is an ongoing process of self-discovery. The content is based on insights from the core discipline of social psychology. Students use the data of their own experience as input together with a series of written assignments and in-class activities, including discussions, films, simulations, and peer coaching. The course enables students to engage in reflection, explore values and assess how they want to skillfully apply these lessons to their own leadership practice. No prerequisites.
