A proactive mindset is a critical element in successful business or personal change. You will learn about different change management models, problem solving to find the best ways to leverage change agents, and how to best manage change. (6 credit hours)
Strategic Communication and Information Leadership
Seminar 4
Strategic communication is a vital skill in today's demanding, fast-paced, virtual or global workplaces. This seminar builds on prior seminars in a determined effort to integrate what you have already learned, for example, about yourself as a person; your leadership style; your tendencies and preferences as a professional and how you assimilate and apply information. Experiential learning is a large component of this seminar, so you will practice your skills at work and relay your experiences through your Leadership Development Portfolio (LDP) and, as with all seminars, you will learn from the engaging classroom discussions. (6 credit hours)
Semester 3:
Strategic Organizational Behavior as Leadership in Organizations
Competitive Superiority and Principled Decision-Making
Seminar 5
This seminar recognizes the fundamental importance of utilizing and believing in an ethical strategy as a leader. Decision-making is a fundamental leadership skill as well. However, becoming a leader who can produce a strategy alone is not enough to connect potentially fragmented pieces of an organization nor can a leader promote competitive advantage or superiority without an integrated strategy. A strategy without guidelines or principles can destroy even the most competitive organization. Strategic OB as Leadership in Organizations, blends the people-side with the systems within any organization, but does so considering ethical sustainability as essential to competitive superiority. Principled decision-making promotes triple-bottom-line thinking to heighten awareness of how important ethical practices are to promoting a lasting, honored, socially responsible brand. Several case studies will be reviewed to contrast the paths and results of several organizations whose leaders had a strategy, but not one grounded in ethical principles. (6 credit hours)
Developing a Learning Organization for the Knowledge-Based Economy
Human Capital Management (HCM) and Succession Planning in a face-to-face and virtual world
Seminar 6
This seminar involves forward-thinking concepts of coaching, mentoring and succession planning to promote a learning organization that is prepared for the retiring baby-boomers, emerging X-ers, Nexters and "others" currently co-existing in the workplace. Using the new Human Resources model; Human Capital Management (HCM), learning becomes a strategic function, even formalized via a corporate university or learning management system. In order to foster knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing among employees, organizations must embrace Internet or Intranet facilitation of learning, especially as more functions move overseas in this expanding global marketplace. This seminar teaches the leader how to recognize the key components of the knowledge based economy living and breathing in the people of their organization. (6 credit hours)
