COMM 3720 - Leadership: Organizational and Team Dynamics

Hours: 4
This course is the third in the series and focuses on developing effectiveness of being a leader of teams and groups. We explore what effective leadership looks like in the 21st century – the skills and behaviors that are needed to manage and work in a global economy and in increasing rate of change. We explore the impact of “emotional intelligence” – the characteristics of this kind of intelligence and the importance of integrating emotions into our leadership and management skills. We explore more deeply how to manage and work through conflict; the characteristics of an effective team; deepen our active listening skills and ability to develop win/win solutions. We learn principles of motivation and how to move action forward to produce desired results and in that context we distinguish the difference between efficiency and effectiveness and the impact on performance.
