This course introduces leadership in organizations. A historical review of leadership theory and research will be accompanied by current developments in understanding leadership. The course explores various models of leadership that have been developed from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Students will gain an understanding of the major leadership theories. For each model studied, students are expected to understand the theoretical basis of the model, the strengths, and weaknesses of said model, and how to apply the model to practical situations in business and other settings. An assessment of the students’ own leadership provides the framework for self-awareness and potential perspective transformation, using various questionnaires, structured feedback, and self-analysis assignments. The course develops leadership skills and planning for each student’s on-going development as a leader and researcher of leadership. The primary method of instruction is dialogue, supplemented by readings, lectures and simulation exercises. By the end of this course, students will have developed a well-rounded understanding of leadership concepts for use in their own leadership situations.
