Course Description

This experiential course is focused on helping students expand their leadership/management capability through systematic assessment of their existing competencies, targeted skill development, and by providing practice in applying the newly acquired skills. A five-step learning framework is used to “drive” this skill acquisition process. These steps consist of: (1) self-evaluations (using structured assessments), (2) skill learning – reading theory and research-validated explanations, (3) skill analysis through case study examples, (4) skill practice using exercises, simulations and role plays, and (5) skill application – where classroom learning is transferred to real-life situations. During this skill development process, the student receives feedback from self-assessment results, faculty, other participants and co-workers.

Topics will include: self awareness, time and stress management, individual and group problem solving, communication, power and influence, motivation, conflict management, empowerment, and team leadership, and leading positive change.
