Core Curriculum

Leadership in Business

The course is designed to provide you with an understanding of how and why effective organizational leaders do what they do. While technical proficiency in areas such as accounting and finance is a necessary prerequisite for success in many jobs, it is equally crucial to understand the human side of business and management. Through a balanced integration of theory, evidence-based insights, hands-on experience, and personal reflection, our primary goal is to empower you with valuable tools and knowledge to evolve into a more enlightened and adept manager, leader, and individual.

By the end of this course, we hope to achieve the following goals together:

  • Examine your own tendencies to gain a better understanding of what factors impact your abilities as a manager
  • Develop an understanding of emotions in yourself and others in the workplace and use this knowledge to navigate your interpersonal relationships
  • Enhance your communication, leadership, persuasion, negotiation, and decision-making skills to achieve the desired outcomes in both work and life
  • Understand and cultivate effective leadership behaviors
  • Recognize the challenges of leading in a global environment
  • Analyze management problems in diverse contexts and synthesize course concepts to reach effective solutions
  • Integrate and connect course concepts and skills through self-reflection
