Course Description

The purpose of this course is to investigate the nature of leadership and its functions in contemporary society. Particular attention is given to such subjects as leadership and culture, leadership traits, power and influence, patterns of leadership (charismatic, transformational and servant leadership) and the effectiveness of leadership in organizational settings.
