ED 700.312 - Management: Power and Influence

Institution:

Johns Hopkins University

Subject:

Description:

Power and influence are important means to accomplishing a defined end, whether it is a product or service. When power and influence are applied properly, positive outcomes result. When they are abused, organizations and people are confined and success is restrained. Students scrutinize various sources of power and the social, economic, and cultural conditions that create them. They call upon their own experiences to discuss individual, group, and organizational power. Students investigate historic events in which people of great power quickly became powerless and those of modest influence grew to become world leaders. Through readings, class discussion, and group projects, they probe their own “sphere of influence” and how it may be tapped to achieve desired goals. Notes: This course is only available to students enrolled in Division of Public Safety Leadership programs.
