Women in Leadership

1.5 units

This course takes a multi-faceted approach to the topic of women in leadership that combines evidence-based frameworks, academic cases, and distinguished speakers. Notable leaders share their life and career journeys with the students, providing advice and wisdom from their successful careers. Cases and readings emphasize the current state of empirical evidence on the topics being discussed. Students conduct their own research on a topic of their choice facing women in the workplace and present their analyses of modern issues drawing from the course concepts. Students are encouraged to use the rigorous material to engage in deep reflection about what students expect from their careers, as well as a chance to consider their pathways to become effective leaders in today’s organizations. Students of all backgrounds welcome. Students may not take both OB 5002 and OB 6002 for credit.
