This course is designed as a ramp towards launching – or re-launching – a leadership career, one that impacts the design and implementation of public policy. It is structured for students who are in their last semester and wish to focus on capturing and building upon how they best lead. It will bring focus both to their best-use career scenario, as well as how they will work with and around some of their natural limitations. Students will emerge with clear conceptual foundations and personal practice around these central leadership topics: vision, mission, and values; management and coaching skills; powerful dialogue; self-awareness about leadership styles, strengths and challenge; leadingx2 (with a key partner). It will be highly reflective and engaged. This class is designed to be taken with a colleague. You can enroll with a colleague, or you can enroll and be matched with a colleague.
