People are the heart of organizations. Managing them well requires a sophisticated understanding of the self and others. Good leadership requires deliberate thought and significant effort. It is a continually developing life skill that becomes increasingly important for effectiveness as one rises in the hierarchy of an organization. To help students in their ongoing efforts to be equipped for success as leaders, the two primary purposes of this course are: (1) to build skill and broad fluency with organizational leadership and behavior (2) to develop a personal leadership philosophy based on a) an informed understanding of management concepts at the individual, group, and organizational level and b) self-knowledge and introspection regarding personal values, goals, and perspectives about oneself and others.
