DESCRIPTION
Everyone has a general idea of what (effective) leadership is. Every day we are confronted with leadership and its positive and negative consequences: in class, during group assignments, at your job, sport club, student organization, etc. Or simply think of the recent US presidential elections, which provides a striking example of different visions of leadership. This course on leadership, which combines and integrates state of the art leadership theory and research, will help you understand these every day examples of leadership.
Leaders must be able to manage information, diagnose problems, negotiate with others, and make effective decisions, as well as coordinate and motivate the human and social capital of their organizational members. This course aims to prepare you to understand and meet these goals by familiarizing you with leadership theory, and providing you with practical experiences through case studies and experiential activities.
