(Prerequisite: GSM 455) This course provides students with the opportunity to explore compare and challenge traditional and contemporary perspectives and models of leadership. You will learn about issues of leadership, how leadership is culturally constructed, and what it means to lead effectively. You will also examine how gender affects the way women enact leadership as well as how others react to women leaders. You will analyze yourself as a leader and have multiple opportunities to explore your style, voice, strengths, and opportunities for growth, creativity, vision, and goals. You will be expected to take leadership within the class; your role will be to help create a collaborative, innovative learning environment that will support you and your classmates in your journeys of reflection, learning and growth. This course is an experiential one, requiring openness to learning in new ways and through many different modes. In the class, you will be asked to reflect on your values, motives, past (both positive and negative) experiences of leading and being led. An underlying question in the course is: what principles and values are guiding my leadership behavior? This course is only the first step in answering this question. The course is designed to capture a snapshot of your present thoughts, feelings and reflections on the topic of leadership in a format that you can use after leaving the School of Management. The information gleaned in this class will be helpful in enabling you to continually refine and reflect on your own stance towards and practice of leadership. (2 credits)
