MGMT3063: Leadership Lab in Action

MGMT 3063: Leadership Lab in Action prepares students to translate leadership theory into practice. Students work with a client on real-world leadership challenges by applying the frameworks from The Student Leadership Challenge. By the end of the course, students will have identified, analyzed, and proposed solutions to business leadership challenges for a client. The Department of Work and Organizations approaches leadership development from six perspectives: academic foundation, experiential education, relational guidance, research infrastructure, cultural immersion, and community connections. This course, associated with the Carlson Leadership Lab which is a selective experience of a limited number of students, focuses on experiential education and relational guidance. The experiential learning portion of the class will allow you to navigate leadership moments and bring the course concepts to life. After course completion, all students should be able to: 1. Articulate the importance of collaboration in leadership (understand). 2. Identify leadership challenges through the lens of the five practices for becoming an exemplary leader (knowledge). 3. Effectively analyze challenges or opportunities presented by clients (analyze). 4. Understand the role of creativity, innovation, discovery, and expression in problem solving (understand). 5.
