PSYC142 CM - Becoming a Leader: Seminar on Leadership Development

Developing leadership skills, competencies, and potential is thought to traverse the entire lifespan. It is no longer state-of-the-art to take people away from their work to develop as leaders. Rather, state-of-the-science approaches focus on using ongoing experiences as a way to foster and accelerate leadership development. This unit explores various evidence- and experience-based approaches to developing leaders and leadership. Attention is given to understanding psychological theories and models of change, how to enhance development of human and social capital, conceptualizing and leveraging network perspectives on developing shared leadership capacity, and leading development of self and others at individual and collective levels.
