BUSI 40853 Leading in a Complex World
Prerequisite: BUSI 40843 with a grade of at least C, and must be a Business major. This course is designed to help students understand the complexity of the contexts in which leadership occurs. The course will extend learning regarding leading self, leading others and leading change (covered previously in the BNSF Neeley Leadership Program) to complex business and societal contexts. Students will gain a better understanding of: 1) the nature of complexity in business and social systems, 2) the implications of complexity for how organizations must think differently about leadership and followership (e.g., regarding organization structure, culture, power and communication), and 3) how each student personally needs to lead and follow inorganizational contexts to be successful as they transition into and advance in their careers.
