The purpose of this course is to identify the fundamental leadership behaviors that enable people to excel in their careers, and to help students apply these behaviors to personal and professional success. The course builds from the basic premise that leadership is learned, and looks at the theory and practice of leadership at the individual and organizational level. The course will explore definitions of leadership, the importance of leadership, leadership styles, the role of vision and integrity, the importance of giving and receiving feedback, how to lead change and solve problems, effective teamwork, and communication strategies.
I took Leaders 481 in the Winter of 2015 with Dr. William Lester. We used the textbook Leadership: Theory and Practice, 6th Edition by Peter G. Northouse. The book is an excellent source of valuable information about leadership. If you want to own one book about leadership, this is the one. After finishing the course I found the subject materials are much more extensive, interesting, and valuable than I had originally anticipated. |
