Description

Objective:

The course objective is to challenge the mindset that in order to be a leader, one must be a supervisor. Through prescribed opportunities to practice leadership behaviors, this course enables students to recognize and act on opportunities to foster trust and psychological safety on their teams and in their daily interactions.

Learning Outcomes:

  • distinguish leadership behaviors from transactional management behaviors as defined by the leadership model
  • translate the identified leadership behaviors critical to achieving their personally defined goals into ongoing opportunities to practice and improve leadership skills
  • discover specific barriers to behaving as a leader, and plan strategies for overcoming those barriers
  • examine how the factors that contribute to mindset influence the assumptions they make and their demonstrated behaviors
  • apply a trust framework to recognize and practice the behaviors necessary to build, sustain, or improve trust in relationships
  • demonstrate behaviors that foster psychological safety as documented in research
  • produce an original capstone project that reflects on their goals and practice experiences and reframes the leadership narrative as accessible to and necessary for everyone
