Leaders surround us - we find them in the political arena, the military, families, and the workplace. The quality of our lives depends on how well our leaders perform. This course explores what it means to be an effective leader. Using both classical and contemporary writings, the course examines the psychological, moral, and socially acquired characteristics of leaders. We will consider the tasks and challenges leaders face, such as initiating change, motivating people, formulating strategy, communications, decision-making, negotiations, and crisis management. The course ends with a case study of a famous leader.
