LDS 394 - Leadership Theory & Practice (3)
UG
This is the first of three leadership courses that prepare students for culture-shaping leadership. Leadership Theory and Practice seeks to (1) give students a thorough understanding of the history of leadership, (2) prepare students to analyze their own leadership gifts, and (3) move students from theory to practice in effective leadership with practical life-management skills. The theme of “stewardship” runs throughout the entire first course. Scripture says that human beings were designed in God’s image to be fruitful and multiply, fill and subdue the earth, and rule over creation. By developing a mental model for the course based on the sequence of creation, fall, and redemption, students will learn what the created stewardship aspect was designed to be, how humans abuse and abandon stewardship in their fallenness, and how stewardship might be redeemed in today’s society to enable human beings to lead productively based on God’s design.

LDS 396 - Leadership & Management Communication (3)
UG
This is the second of three leadership courses that prepare students for culture-changing leadership. Leadership and Management Communications seeks to (1) sensitize students to the importance of effective communication in leadership, (2) equip students with organizationally useful communication skills, and (3) acquaint students with the best practices in communicating effectively in leadership situations. The theme of “servanthood” runs throughout the entire second course. Servant leadership has long been acknowledged as the most noble leadership posture. But what is servant leadership, really? Are we to be leaders who serve, or servants who lead? This course proceeds from the assumption that we are to be servants who lead: serving one (God) by leading others. This perspective enables leaders to focus on what is best for themselves, their followers, and their organizations as they work to reduce uncertainty and increase ownership of the organization’s mission and goals.

This will happen in three ways: 1. Honing the skills of mentoring and coaching, 2. Clarifying the relationship between individual learning, organizational learning, and skillful execution of strategic plans, and 3. Giving students the opportunity to practice effective mentoring–both working with a mentor and mentoring others. Audits Not Allowed
