TEM 511 - Strategic Team Leadership
Success in leading people and managing performance demands that you understand how workgroups operate and what motivates employees, as well as a candid assessment of your own personality and style. This course aims to help you understand the general principles and processes of effective leadership so that you can lead in a wide variety of organizational situations. Leadership development is relevant for any student pursuing a managerial career and is particularly relevant to students who already hold leadership positions in their organizations.
Topics will focus on aspects of interpersonal behavior, including personality, leadership, teamwork, and conflict management. We will also take a more macro perspective, examining firm-level issues such as power and influence, culture, and organizational congruence.
Within these broad categories, we will examine specific theories and models that have been used to describe and predict behavior in organizations, as well as examples of successful and unsuccessful behavior in organizations. We will use readings from the business and academic press as primary resources, and students are expected to bring additional examples to the classroom, either from personal experience or reading of the business press.
