Establishing the Framework: What Is Leadership?
LDR 4210 / 3 q.h.
July 23 - August 18
Burlington (Hybrid) MW 5:45 PM-8:45 PM
Providing the foundation from which the other program elements build, this course asks the essential questions, “What is leadership?” “What does it take to be a leader?” and asks of students, “What does it take to be a leader in my organization?” Both classic and contemporary models are explored. As the nature of leadership is multidimensional, a single definition is insufficient. The nature of leadership is explored through various perspectives to deepen and enrich students’ appreciation of its complexity. The activity-rich experience in this course will provide learners with ongoing feedback from their peers and opportunities for growth and development.
Ethical Decision Making
LDR 4230 / 3 q.h.
June 25 - July 21
Burlington (Hybrid) MW 5:45 PM-8:45 PM
The fact that there is not one universal set of leader behaviors one considers ethical and no guidelines to follow to determine ethical behavior poses unique challenges to managers today. Yet, as managers we are daily faced with situations where individual values may conflict with those of our teams or organizations. Applying a decision-making model using real-world ethical dilemmas, participants will analyze behaviors and consequences and make recommendations for actions ethical managers can make. |
