Class Description:
Change is often built into definitions of leadership, and certainly many scholars and practitioners have written about how leaders can foster change in their organizations or communities. Moreover, understanding the links between leadership and change takes on increased urgency as the United States and other countries strive to foster an "innovation economy" and navigate through complex, turbulent political terrain. Leaders will need conceptual tools and practical skills to promote innovative organizations that thrive in and contribute to an innovative society.

In this course, students will explore their own personal journey that has shaped their leadership and leadership development. We will also explore the importance of things like mindfulness and emotional intelligence when practicing leadership and making change. Finally, we will delve deeper into the particular skills leaders need in order to make change and promote innovation in their work.
