LEDA 250 : Personal Leadership

Examines the issues and concepts involved in the study of leadership (individually and organizationally) by focusing on the nature of character of leadership itself. The readings, assignments, class discussions and activities will address several basic elements, such as theoretical underpinnings, definitions of leadership, contextual factors, and moral purposes. Recognition of the fact that we are all leaders in some capacity, this course puts special emphasis on the narrative nature of our lives and vocational visions, with particular regard to inherent leadership responsibilities. Through this course, students will be able to understand, examine, and develop their own approaches to leading, as well as increase their abilities to recognize and evaluate leadership strengths in others.
