Evidence-Based Leadership and Decision Making

LDR2720 / 3 q.h.
Formerly LDR 4220.

Designed to increase a leader’s information literacy for decision making. Leadership is not an exact science; decisions cannot be prescribed with absolute certainty. How, then, does a leader know when to act? By what criteria do we make decisions when our access to information may be incomplete? Offers students an opportunity to obtain the tools to identify and translate knowledge needs into clear, focused, answerable questions; match information needs with the most effective information resources and retrieve the best available evidence; appraise the new information for its validity and relevance; and apply the new information when making leadership decisions.
