(The Art of) Leading in Challenging Times

UNITS:3
GRADING:GSB Student Option LTR/PF
LEVEL:Graduate
GER:—

As societal expectations of business leaders continue to expand, this course confronts you with the challenge of how, in practice, you will manage them. What would you do if confronted with a potential whistleblower? When the pressure is on, how will you manage competing priorities? In what situations will you thrive, and when will you struggle? We will explore these and other practical leadership questions through lectures and discussion, case analyses, guest speakers, and a simulation. The course is designed to reveal your current strengths and weaknesses, as well as areas of insight and blindspots. You can expect it to provide you with knowledge that is useful today but becomes ever more valuable as your career and seniority progresses. The simulation, often the standout learning element for students, is mandatory. It takes place between 9am - 4pm on Wednesday, April 22nd on Campus.
