ISSS 4770 - Concepts in Leadership

A study of the basic theory, knowledge, and skills of effective leadership in today’s world. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to use the four leadership frames of Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal (Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership, 2003) as the theoretical construct for both defining effective leadership in today’s world and developing/refining their own skills as leaders. As such, they will also develop both a theoretical and practical understanding of the role of the leader in effecting and managing change. This course will be conducted as a hybrid of independent study, online learning, and live class interaction. More specifically, the course pedagogies will include lecture presentations, online and in-class discussion, case study projects, and interviews.
