Collective Leadership Course
Introducing students to a leadership model centered on shared visions, aligned goals and coordinated actions
Traditional approaches to leadership typically rely on an individual’s heroic leadership capacity — how they influence, persuade and motivate their followers. The Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management is developing a new three-credit community-engaged learning undergraduate course on Collective Leadership, a model that focuses on the achievement of members of a group who must co-create a shared direction, align their understandings and goals and coordinate action. The course will contribute to leadership programming across campus, and benefit community partners by exposing students to frameworks widely used with public, organizational and community change models.
