BUS 314 Leadership
Christians are called to conduct leadership in government,
commerce, schools, neighborhoods, parachurch ministries and
more. In that context, this course will explore key facets of
leadership learning to serve both religious and nonreligious
organizations in a manner consistent with their faith. Through
intensive, experiential learning and practice, students will be
immersed in the study of leadership, and will directly apply
themselves in leadership opportunities. This course takes a
cross-curriculum approach to exposing students to the many
facets of leadership and, in a motivational setting, encourages
them to find their own personal leadership style, ultimately
identifying the emerging leader within. Leadership students
will directly apply themselves in leadership opportunities
through a series of lectures, group exercises, and experiential
learning projects with outside agencies. Content areas include
decision-making, goal setting, effective communication,
organization and time management skills, and concrete
strategies to implement change. Particular focus will be on
the servant leadership model which is couched in a spiritual
understanding of human identity and mission, that solves
problems, promotes personal development, and maximizes the
effectiveness of organizations. Offered alternate years.
