OTMT 680 Leadership: Great Leaders, Great Literature (4)


Leadership is one of the most studied and least understood human behaviors. Yet, leadership is critical for organizational success-especially in the hypercompetitive, global world. What is leadership? Who has it? Where does leadership come from? Does it differ by culture? What are the theories of leadership? Do leaders differ from managers? How might the student become a more effective leader? The objective of this course is to prepare individuals to better understand, accept, and assume leadership roles in increasingly competitive, globalized, multicultural, multi-values organizations by (1) understanding the significant theories, models, and concepts of leadership; (2) analyzing and understanding their unique leadership style; (3) developing, refining, and articulating their individual philosophy of leadership; and (4) examining and considering the values and ethical issues associated with leadership.
