When Offered: As Needed

This course will introduce concepts and theories of leadership and organizational culture. Emphasis will focus on the context of leading in learning environments: types of organizations, stakeholders, group dynamics, change, and establishing goals. The course will also include self-assessment and experiential components to supplement the translation of theory to practice. The course will approach leadership as a social process that involves the interaction of leaders, followers, and stakeholders in different contexts. With the rate of change in new information and knowledge, the ability to create and sustain a learning organization is especially relevant to education, but also holds application for other fields (e. g. , business, agriculture, criminal justice).
