SLO 5226 - Organization Development I: Strategic Leadership, Change Management & Cross-Functional Teaming


Essential skills for moving organizations towards meeting their goals are strategic leadership, leading change, and cross-functional teaming. Students explore strategic leadership as the theories and skills of forming and implementing an organization's vision, goals, strategies, and structure. A critical task of leadership is to assess the strategic environment of the organization so that a future direction may be charted that will enable it to achieve significant competitive advantage in the marketplace. Students are taught to develop visions, missions, core values and strategic goals that allow their own leadership intentions to be realized. They implement and operate a "B-Corp" for the majority of their second year. 3 credit(s)
