We will discuss the leadership situations you are best suited for personally, where you might encounter challenges, and how to develop new leadership skills. This includes cultivating the ability to give and receive feedback to strengthen relationships. We will explore how to leverage politics to enhance strategic leadership and lead through crisis.

To compete, firms must become adept at strategic change: disrupt or be disrupted. The central tenet of this course is that effective strategic change is rooted in having entrepreneurial elements in a firm’s organization design that drives strategy discovery for successful pivots. This course teaches elements of design for strategy discovery and how to incorporate them in established firms. Lessons are uncovered through case-based analysis, hands-on exercises, lecture, video, and theoretical analyses comparing different perspectives. Evaluation is based on course contributions, a memo, and a group presentation applying lessons from the course to a case.

Power and Influence examines the bases of subunit and individual power in organizations and the means by which subunit and individual power is translated into influence. The course assumes that leaders sometimes must acquire power to be effective, but recognizes that leaders do not always use power in the interests of the organization. Thus, the course explores the positive and negative effects that power and its use can have an organizational effectiveness and in the process considers the ethics of power and influence. The course also recognizes that leaders are not the only organization participants who acquire power and exercise influence in organizations. Thus, the course focuses not just on leaders but also middle level managers and lower level employees. The course's most basic premise is that managers at all levels of the organization can improve their effectiveness (both in pursuit of their own and their organization's interests) if they better understand how power is accumulated and used in organizations. Class sessions are devoted to discussing case studies in light of theoretical arguments advanced in readings.
