HRD 145. Leadership in A Diverse World

3.00
The purpose of this course is to prepare JMU students as leaders by promoting a conceptual understanding of leading, leadership and change, while encouraging practical application. Students will sharpen their critical thinking skills by evaluating and analyzing leadership case studies. They will also conduct research into leadership in a diverse world appropriate to their context and focus. In addition, the student will engage in critical examination of leadership in everyday settings, giving particular attention to how leaders and followers interact with one another and behave on a daily basis and explore leading, leadership, and change from multiple perspectives. The notion of servant leadership will also be a focus: students will engage in self-examination of themselves as leaders, including style, assumptions, models, context and themes.
