The course is designed to prepare students to lead high-performing, successful firms in the future and to effectively lead your own career.
A key leadership task is to assemble the skills, talents and resources of individuals and groups into those combinations that best solve the organizational problem at hand. Leaders must manage people, information, and processes to accomplish organizational goals; you must make things happen, and often not under conditions or timeframes of your own choosing. Leaders must also understand how to introduce their own skills and abilities into their teams. The successful execution of these goals requires leaders to be able to diagnose problems, make effective decisions, influence others, manage the diversity of their personal contacts, tap the human and social capital of organizational members, optimize cross-functional teams, and drive organizational change.
This course prepares students to achieve these objectives by providing fundamental tools from the behavioral and social sciences that will improve your ability to analyze organizational dynamics and to take robust action.
