SOC WLF 270Being Leader and Effective Exercise of Leadership: Ontological/Phenomenological Model
Social Welfare · 4 units · Graduate courses (200-299)
Students develop unique context for leadership which gives them direct access to effective exercise of leadership as their natural self-expression, in any situation, regardless of whether they hold title/position. Students have opportunity to become aware of and deal with personal obstacles (ontological constraints) to exercise of leadership. Using leadership project and diverse study group as laboratory, students practice and develop capacities to operate with integrity, uncover ontological constraints, reflect critically, listen authentically, and speak to those they are leading in way that promotes shared vision and inspires others to contribute.
