    This course examines the meaning of leadership by looking at the impact of history, culture, and circumstance on how we define and identify leadership and what we identify as the qualities of good leaders. Through the exploration of the history of leadership, students begin to understand the evolving nature of the definition of leadership, and the historiographical debate over its significance. By comparing and contrasting different leadership models, students distinguish the difference between leadership and management, and the impact of the larger community on the effectiveness of a particular model. Building on this knowledge, students then critically examine different leadership styles in others and in themselves.
