GS 501 Overview

This course analyzes how leaders operate within the needs of organizations in the 21st century. The goal is for students to examine themselves to understand core values and align these values with leadership of the organization. Specifically, students examine their own formation (what influenced me?) and values (what do I value?) in reference to their leadership within their organizational context (where am I now?) in order to construct a personal leadership position (where am I going as a leader?) that is informed by their formation and values and incorporates feedback from others about their leadership behavior. Student will also begin to assess who they are within the organization and how to work with others to achieve goals and support organizations mission.
