STML 561 - Transformational Leadership

This course considers the development of leadership theory, examines elements of transformational leadership, and explores how transformational leaders move people, groups and organizations toward change. J. M. Burns’ definition provides the baseline for understanding leadership as the process of moving people toward higher moral agency, raising consciousness and effecting change through embodying reflective, systems-based, relational, and spiritual leadership. Students will engage in self-discovery, consider case studies and analyze leadership on various levels of influence.
