Course Description
This course is designed to facilitate reading and discussion of some of the classic and current theories on leadership. The perspective taken in this course is that the leader can not think only in terms of local and regional issues, but must think also of the impact that world events have on the organization and how the organization affects the global society. This course is framed within a constructivist perspective, encouraging candidates to learn to view problems and issues from multiple perspectives, constructing knowledge from their interpretations of the world. The use of the Internet will be an integral component of this course as candidates will be expected to communicate with organizational leaders in different parts of the world regarding the implementation and evaluation of various leadership concepts, strategies and tactics.
