SOCW 8752 - Executive Leadership With Impact

(5 credits)

Social work doctoral students in this course have the opportunity to apply adaptive executive leadership, address needs within their areas of interest, and realize opportunities for innovation. Students explore the innovation projects within the domains of social work scholarship called the Grand Challenges. The course focuses on activities that allow students to understand the Grand Challenge contexts and engage in multiple types of specified research such as academic, experiential, web-based, and social. In addition, students partake in new mental models and collaboration that aim to meet dynamic needs and challenges not necessarily bound by convention. Students build professional relationship supports, work outside of traditional frameworks, employ entrepreneurial/intrapreneurial practices, integrate multiple sources of knowledge, employ leadership acumen, and create an innovation project addressing a needed improvement to society.
