This hands-on, interactive class is designed to help students develop the skills and confidence they need to grow as leaders. Group exercises and a self-designed team project allow them to practice and reflect on key leadership roles and habits. The Leadership Lab will help them be more confident and successful in their work on campus, in their community, and in the world.
The Leadership Lab will help students learn to:
• Work with a group to identify important issues, brainstorm small wins, implement at a small scale, and improve their ideas
• Engage stakeholders and collect evidence about their chosen topic through leadership experiments that test their ideas against the world
• Build a leadership “toolkit” that is based on their own skills, ability, vision and personal style
• Reflect on their experiences in order to continuously improve their effectiveness and the teams they work with
