FGEN) 120C - Leadership Through Self-Development

Institution:

Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

This class introduces students to concepts associated with the Relational Leadership Model, psychological and social identity development, as well as the impact of diversity on personal identity development and leadership. Students are encouraged to analyze responsibilities and commitments in the context of leadership for the common good and for purposeful change. Students are asked to think critically about leadership issues facing our society, understand the importance of self-knowledge, recognize how diversity influences personal identity and leadership, and explore how values influence leadership (e.g., consider the Fisher Creed). Examining historical experiences, such as the start of the space race in 1957, the Civil Rights movement of the mid-twentieth century, the response of a small city to a major airline crash, and other historical events, students consider how leadership issues have manifested themselves and been addressed in our society. As part of the course, students participate in a service project with their class, becoming part of a team that reaches out beyond the campus community to offer service to the wider community while fostering leadership skills associated with the Relational Leadership Model.
