PLTC 231 - Leaders and Leadership

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

Philip of Macedon (350 B.C.E.) wrote, "There is more to be feared from an army of deer led by a lion than from an army of lions led by a deer." This course draws from multiple disciplines to focus on the theories and practice of leadership through case studies. The essence of the inquiry is to discover the qualities of leaders, whether those qualities can be learned, and how the qualities are put into practice (or not) in real-life situations. Ernest Shackleton, Martin Luther Kind Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Sanger, Winston Churchill, and Abraham Lincoln are among those studied. Classes are augmented by such films as Apollo 13, On the Waterfront, Thirteen Days, and Twelve Angry Men. Enrollment limited to 30. Offered with varying frequency. A. King.
