MGT 567 Leadership for Organizations
This course addresses fundamental leadership concepts, principles and classical theories in a manner that facilitates real-world application. Emphasis is on the development of leadership behaviors and critical thinking skills in an organizational behavior framework. Case studies are used to present challenging scenarios which test students? abilities to accurately diagnose situations and develop sound leadership interventions. Course also includes an individual leadership assessment and development phase during the first week of the Davis EMBA experience. A variety of individual leadership assessment instruments will be administered to students to determine particular levels of development across multiple spectra. Feedback from these diagnostics informs the student about strengths and weaknesses. Students design and implement an individualized development plan to address identified deficiencies revealed by the instruments. The plan is used as a tool to guide student leadership development and growth throughout the Davis EMBA experience. Assessment results and action plans are documented via an electronic leadership portfolio.
