INTG 5010 The Life of the Leader: Making an Impact
This course explores the role frameworks, values, purposes, learning, and growth have on shaping decisions, building capacity, and influencing the kind of impact that is made in the lives of persons and organizations. A key overarching goal for this integrative class is to understand the effect of leaders on the leadership interaction. Specific focus will be given to the determinative nature of a leader's self-awareness, perceptions, personal formation, and value systems on their leadership style and relationship with those they serve. Identity and incarnation will be major themes, beginning with the idea that true leadership comes mainly from within a person, not from the outside. It is the honest evaluation of our lives that helps deepen our capacity to lead. This evaluation, when merged with receiving God's gift of new life, produces the strongest possibility for personal transformation and developing credibility with those we serve/lead. Our own transformations are not inconsequential to organizational development, but core.
