AI 222 - Discovering The Leader Within

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

We are living in a world of constant change, a world in which change is often viewed as the only constant. When we think about change we typically are talking about incremental change. This course will explore a much more difficult change process: the process of deep change. The primary focus of this course will be to examine the values, goals, and operating methods of the internally-driven leaders engaged in the process of deep change: the transformational leaders. The course is designed to give students a practical understanding of the ways in which transformational leaders are having a lasting impact on a wide array of organizations ranging from major corporations, to nonprofits, to international institutions. In the process, students will learn leadership lessons that can contribute to their personal and professional growth and development. The principles of deep change can apply to people at every level of an organization regardless of its size. The class is interactive and will include case studies as well as movies portraying transformation leaders who have pursued the vision of deep change. Multimedia activities will include small and large group discussions and presentations, research, report writing, and video and audio tape presentations. Competences: A3C, A4, H2C, FX.
