BUS 224 Social Action Leaders
Each of us can choose to build our leadership capacity to create a desirable future. We will explore the way. Socially-minded leadership brings the ideas and talents of people together to create positive social change. In doing so, leaders transform themselves. In this course, we explore how consciousness of self, common purpose, controversy with civility, and citizenship combine to model how we can understand the leadership of others while developing it in ourselves. Course activities include personal reflection shown through writing, artwork, video or other expressions as well as weekly introductions to socially-minded leaders selected by students and the professor. We will use class discussion, leadership assessment activities, experiential exercises, case analyses, and videos as tools; deliverables include either a service-learning experience in the community or a final project exploring leadership in action. No pre-requisites.
