In today’s complex environment, leaders engaged in shaping public policy, and government and nonprofit programs, must know how to use the emotional and intellectual power of language to motivate, inspire, and competently manage their organizations. In this course, students examine dynamic leadership techniques, such as effective communication, that affect conscious and unconscious influences on human behavior. Through discussions and individual projects, students apply theoretical and practical course content to demonstrate the necessary components for making effective human connections. Students also learn why stories, symbols, and metaphors are essential elements in the language of leadership.
