PSY 313 Leadership in Organizations
Leadership in Organizations examines what makes an effective leader, balancing theory and practice as it surveys major theories and research on leadership and managerial effectiveness in formal organizations. Using real-world examples, we will explore leadership traits, skills, and behavior, the role of leadership in groups and teams, and the ethical use of power and influence. Additionally, we will examine how effective leaders improve the practice of management, change and innovation, and strategic leadership.
