Providing the foundation for the master's degree program, this course starts with the premise that everyone is capable of leadership. It establishes this premise by exposing course participants to a series of alternative perspectives of leadership, including some contemporary collaborative models. From careful consideration of these perspectives, as well as from applying them using action learning methods, participants will build a personal model of leadership that they can put to immediate use in their workplace.
Leading Teams

The team is the unit of an organization where most leaders begin to develop influence skills. A team can be defined as a group of individuals whom you directly manage or those whom you influence on a project basis. Leading teams involves managing different personalities, cultures, conflicting political agendas, and varying skill levels. Through participating in and observing team dynamics, students will determine the principles of building highly effective teams. The pragmatic approach used in this course combines learning through classic case situations with experiences in leading team-based activities.
Managing Organizational Culture
LDR 3350 / 3 q.h.
July 23 - August 18
Burlington (Hybrid) TuTh 5:45 PM-8:45 PM
Management vision and values, history, size, physical characteristics, and industry all contribute to the creation of an organization's culture. The structures and processes created within each culture influence the behavior of individuals working within it. While leaders in one culture may thrive, others barely survive. This course will ask such questions as: What behavior is my organizational culture affecting? What impact does my organization's culture have on its strategy? How can I influence the culture of my organization? And Does culture survive in an era of mergers and acquisitions? Using case studies, participants will analyze organizations to define various organizational cultures and diagnose their own to determine ways to most effectively manage in that environment. |
