Average Course Rating

(-1)

The number and complexity of social issues facing leaders in government, business, education, the religious community, and the nonprofit organizations abound. Among them are people’s distrust of government and long-standing institutions, use and abuse of technology, the new service industry, changes in class structure, the decline of suburbia, and a controlled media. Through case studies, readings, videos, audio books, and debate, students reflect on how past leaders have addressed these and other issues. They consider their own “sphere of influence” and ability to affect change in matters of importance to their immediate work group, organization, and community.
