Description

Students will focus on the use of leadership theory to empower individuals within an organization to bring about changes both internally and externally. Students will be exposed to leadership theories such as transformational leadership, servant leadership and authentic leadership with specific focus on follower development and change initiatives. Foundational aspects of these theories not only focus on follower development but also include elements of ethical and moral leadership. Students will apply both leadership and organizational change theory to examine human behavior and issues like overcoming groupthink, resistance to change and coping with new paradigms. (3 s.h.)
