What is leadership? Is it a set of innate characteristics, or a set of skills anyone can learn? How do you define a good leader, and how can the effectiveness of different styles of leadership change based on context?
Course Description
In the Leadership Institute, you'll ponder questions such as these and more, gaining an understanding of what very good and very bad leadership looks like, and how has that has changed over time. This course will be taught by an interdisciplinary team of instructors who will address how concepts of good leadership change when viewed through various academic disciplines, industries, eras, and cultures. We will ground our learning in leadership theory, and then explore how those theories apply in real life settings. The course includes a two-day outdoor leadership experience at an off-campus lodge in the White Mountains. Through the combination of traditional classroom and outdoor learning, this course will provide participants with a unique opportunity to learn about and reflect on leadership in vastly different environments, and to explore their own understanding of themselves as leaders and as contributors to their communities.
