OBC 506: Leadership

Credits 3.0

How do we mobilize our own and others’ energy toward developing sustainable outcomes and meaningful change—when the path ahead is unclear, when our business environment is rapidly changing, when we do not have full authority over those involved? This course embraces a human-centered design approach to leading others with integrity, empathy, and curiosity—with a specific focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of working within project-based networks and Industry 4.0/STEM contexts. Students will build their capacity to navigate complex human and technical systems as they work in teams to develop and pilot a solution to a real-life organizational or social problem.
