Inhoud vak

Everyone has a general idea of what (effective) leadership is. Every day
we are confronted with leadership and its positive and negative
consequences: in class, during group assignments, at your job, sport
club, student organization, etc. Or simply think of the recent US
presidential elections, which provides a striking example of different
visions of leadership. This course on leadership, which combines and
integrates state of the art leadership theory and research, will help
you understand these every day examples of leadership.

Leaders must be able to manage information, diagnose problems, negotiate
with others, and make effective decisions, as well as coordinate and
motivate the human and social capital of their organizational members.
This course aims to prepare you to understand and meet these goals by
familiarizing you with leadership theory, and providing you with
practical experiences through case studies and experiential activities.
