Course content and structure | |||||||||||||||||||||||
This course takes as a point of departure James March’s
definition of leadership as a “delicate balance of plumbing and
poetry” and aims at igniting students’ curiosity towards and
appreciation of the deeper realities of leading and following. It
seeks to inspire and enable students to grasp and reflect on the
complex nature and meaning of leadership, and to illuminate the
dilemmas of leading. It provides learning experiences that enhance
their capacity to recognize, frame, reflect upon and envision
decisions and actions related to leading in situations of
ambiguity.

Teaching methods | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Through participatory methods and course materials, ranging from lectures and debates, to discussions of cases, excerpts from film, literature, biographies and speeches, the course brings to life leadership issues and dilemmas in different organizational contexts. It also has an experiential component with students engaging in exercises and role-plays that help them develop imagination for the repertoire of leadership roles, skills, and actions. Students are expected to come prepared to class and actively participate in and contribute to the class activities and discussions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
