Great Books in Leadership

3 units

This course critically engages with influential books written by leading scholars and practitioners who are shaping contemporary conversations about leadership. The focus is cross-disciplinary and spans industries and organizational types. Students will explore multiple perspectives on what leadership means, how it should be practiced, and the impact it has on people, culture, and performance. Rather than concentrating on a single model or theory, the course encourages students to compare ideas, question assumptions, and examine how leadership principles apply in diverse organizational contexts. By the end of the course, students will develop a broader, practical understanding of leadership that can be applied effectively across sectors and roles.
