Class Description:
GEN ST 348: Leadership from the Inside Out
Term A: MTWTh, 12:40 pm-3:20 pm, SLN#11632 (5 credits, CR/NC)
Instructor: Francesca Lo, franlo@uw.edu
Over the past twenty years, a revolution has occurred in the way
leadership is conceptualized across most fields and disciplines.
The concept of leadership has moved from being leader-centered,
individualistic, hierarchical, focused on universal
characteristics, and highlighting power over followers to a new
vision where leadership is process centered, collective, context
bound, nonhierarchical, and focused on mutual power and influence.
This summer intensive class offers a highly experiential
opportunity to guide you in incorporating cutting-edge leadership
theories and knowledge into your own style of working with and
leading others. We will explore intrapersonal, interpersonal,
organizational and transitional leadership skills needed for
socially responsible leadership. Grounded in revolutionary
concepts in leadership, this class focuses on developing the
skills, knowledge and attitudes needed to serve as effective
change agents in your communities and fields of work.
