(cross-leveled with AG_ED_LD 7240). This course provides the diagnostic and strategic foundations for students to enact leadership in organizational and community contexts. Designed for undergraduate students and graduate-level professionals alike, this course increases a student’s capacity to lead with or without authority, and with or without a formal organizational or political position. The course is based heavily on Heifetz’s Adaptive Leadership theory, which challenges individuals to think beyond individual, role-based leadership skills and behaviors when enacting change in systems, such as organizations and communities. Recommended: AG_ED_LD 2250 and AG_ED_LD 2260.
