Leadership and Management Theories

Leadership is essentially the ability of an individual to influence other persons to achieve a purpose, attain a goal, or create a change. Contemporary businesses, educational institutions, and other organizations expect mastery of stra- tegic leadership elements and a comprehension of motivational and problem solving approaches from their leaders. This course provides a sur- vey of the key components of leadership theory, concepts and models within the context of a Christian worldview. Students will examine lead- ership theory, ethics, values, attitudes, charac- ter development, diversity, and leadership beha- vior with an emphasis on developing the requisite skills for effective servant leadership.
