ODL 660 Strategic Leadership (TOD 4155) (3 credits)

This course emphasizes the integration of leadership theory and behavior with strategic planning. Students have the opportunity to review work projects and explore how communications, perceptions, behaviors, culture, and current events impact the outcome of projects and initiatives. Relationships between organizational dynamics, culture, and leadership are explored through the lens of strategic change initiatives. Specific strategies are considered and students begin to explore new ways of looking at leadership and their own behaviors in order to successfully implement strategies. Students attend a skill weekend where they reflect on the assumptions underlying their leadership actions. ODL and OPD Concentration Requirement
