Course Description:  Topics in Business – Leadership

You are a leader!  You have influence!  Someone, at some time, follows your example or suggestions!
he strong demand for excellent leadership in all organizations, at all levels, demands that we all strategically develop ourselves as leaders.  More than “being in charge” or exerting influence, leaders – effective leaders - create positive change for the greater organizational or the community good. 

This course will briefly review the history of leadership and then explore leadership styles, leadership theories and how both can be seen in today’s teams and organizations.  The course also will define general leadership characteristics and competencies.   Finally, the course will review and discuss leadership issues in the news along with some classic leadership issues that organizations and teams have faced. 

In this course, students will assess their own current leadership skills and competencies and they will develop personal plans to further develop their leadership capabilities. Students will also review and discuss Leadership Case Studies and they will be given the opportunity to explore and apply their acquired knowledge to Leadership Dilemmas.  Students will review and discuss items reported on in the Washington Post Leadership pages as well as the videos posted in the Business section of TED Talks
