MLLS 706 - Leading by Design

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MLLS - SLPA Grad Leadership

Description:

Is leadership an art, a science or an integration of the two? This course explores design, seen as a blend of creativity and engineering, and treats design as a rich metaphor for the work leaders actually do. As product designers transform the physical world, leaders serve as architects in a social world, designing and realizing preferred futures. In this course students practice leadership as design and complete multiple mini-design projects. Focusing on key design elements (such as context and environment, design intention, stakeholder interests, collaboration, verbal and graphic communication, the creative process, and design patterns), students come to understand organizational leadership as a continual process of intentional co-design and re-design. (Recommended for second-year graduate students.)
