CLMDG 1354J: Being a Leader and the Effective Exercise of Leadership
Credits 2.0In this course, students will discover that leadership does not always mean a position, a title, time, money, influence, or any of the traits typically “required” to be a leader or produce the results of a leader. Instead of more knowledge about leadership, students will gain access to actually being a leader and effectively exercising leadership as natural self-expression. During the course conventional thought will be challenged, new ways of thinking will emerge, and students will leave with new actions to create even greater success in the areas of life and leadership that matter most.
