This course will investigate the field of change at the level of individual, group and organization. Through a review of the historical roots of applied behavioral science and humanistic psychology up to the current thinking from systems and complexity science, the concepts and practices of change leaders will be explored. Resistance to change, an inherent complementary component of this topic, will be reviewed. Leadership practices and tools to promote entrepreneurship and innovation will also be covered. As a result of this review, students will develop their own “Practitioner Theory of Change” and have selected their client system for the third semester Capstone practicum. 3 credit(s)
