The thrust of this course is to take a book covering a For-Profit organization and a book covering a Not-For-Profit organization and conduct a compare/contrast while recapping and expanding on Leadership Concepts, Traits, Principles and associated aspects that have been covered as core requirements for a Leadership major at UMO. We will weave those two books together with another book designed to help recap and build upon what you learned in all the LDR courses covered to date. In those previous LDR courses, you learned about various leadership concepts, ways & principles through course work that covered Leadership Case Studies in Leadership, Innovation, Effective Conflict Resolution, Leading Change, and Creating Effective Teamwork. Now is the time to synthesize, reflect and expand on what you have learned. In this course, we want you to be able to apply the leadership concepts using the case method approach in a Socratic Seminar fashion.
