CHLF 400 The Leadership Role

This course covers four areas: the leadership role, who is the leader, leadership traits, and contingency approaches to leadership. This course provides the insight required for leaders to learn what type of leader they are and to understand those that they lead. Self-discovery is important so the leader understands how and why they respond in certain situations. This course explores how leadership is different from management, leadership competencies, and the application of skills for successful leadership. The Executive Leadership candidate is expected to complete both the reading material and written assignments before each session.
