LEAD 1015 - Leadership As Character Development and Inquiry

Hours: 2
LEAD 1015 centers on character as essential for the development of an effective leader: 1) focusing on a leader’s capacity for achieving “values in action,” 2) taking responsibility for her or his actions, 3) living with integrity and resilience, 4) practicing flexibility and humility, 5) forming relationships, 6) identifying and living her or his purpose and vision, and 7) making a commitment to service.Through self-reflection and a process that focuses on inquiry through personal stories as a primary method for leadership development, students learn to develop their individual characters by examining and building on their defining moments and their individual character strengths, and by designing a vision, goals, and plans centered on their core values, their constantly maintained inquiry, and the application of the principles and practices of strong character: resistance, personal responsibility, resilience, sound relationships (servant-leader-formed relationships), and the practices of executive function and emotional intelligence. Offered to high school students only.
