DBA 9000 - Leadership To Create Human Value

3 Credit Hours
Description
Leadership is critical for creating and sustaining value in organizations. The academic investigation of leadership focuses on: 1) What is leadership? 2) What are human values? 3) What is the relation between leadership and human values? The course examines these questions to help students untangle concepts of leadership, authority, and status; understand the competing human values in leadership theories; identify the boundary conditions that pertain to leadership theories; and strike an appropriate balance between learning about leadership and learning to lead. The course favors the practical over the theoretical and focuses on theories supported by evidence, including adaptive leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and competing values leadership.
