  • LEAD 1813 - Introduction to Applied Leadership


    This class bridges the gap between theory and practice as content combines with experiential teaching methods. It provides students with an opportunity to increase their understanding of leadership theory, examine how attitudes about themselves and others influence leadership behavior and character development, and stimulates the development of new skills through demonstration and practice. The class discusses contemporary leadership theories, and analyzes various methods and styles of leadership while providing students with opportunity to better understand their leadership strengths and challenges. Topics include ethical practices, development of personal leadership and pro-social behaviors, situational approaches to leadership, followership, effective teams, diversity, power, communication, instructional techniques, and group debriefing skills. Students will assess their personal leadership qualities and develop a professional portfolio. This course is designed to provide the basic knowledge and psychomotor skills required to “meet” ACCT Level I Challenge Course Practitioner Certification requirements for the routine facilitation of a challenge course as part of leadership education. This course is particularly beneficial for cadets who hold leadership positions. Enrollment is limited.
