LAS 250 - Leadership Development

3 Credits
Lecture: 3

Leadership Development is designed to provide emerging and existing leaders the opportunity to explore the concept of leadership and to develop and improve their leadership skills. Students taking this course will gain a basic understanding of the concept of leadership theory and group dynamics while developing a personal philosophy of leadership, an awareness of the moral and ethical responsibilities of leadership, and an awareness of one’s own ability and style of leadership. Selected excerpts from classical and contemporary writings, speeches and biographies provide the content for analysis, while the humanities provides the foundation for the training through the study of literature, essays, drama, and film. Discussions, experiential exercises, and creative group projects promote direct student participation. The course encourages participants to develop their leadership potential and to engage in productive leadership behavior.

Note: Students will be required to participate in some outside- of- class group activities. This course requires intermediate reading and intermediate writing.
