Developing the Strategic Leader
LDR6140 / 3 to 6 q.h.
Formerly LDR 3130.
Uses case analyses of relevant businesses and institutions to offer students an opportunity to build strategic thinking skills. Based on these analyses, students develop recommendations for their own organizations’ success and actions they can take to influence strategic change. Effective leaders look within and beyond their organizations to determine the right direction for action. Leadership capability extends beyond operational excellence; it requires an appreciation of the external environment and its impact on the organization. A common gap in leadership competence of today’s administrators and managers is the ability to consider the role of the organization within its wider technologic, competitive, and economic environment.
