Leadership Development
 |
"The Master of Science Degree in Leadership Development will address the principles of individual-based leader development within the discipline of leadership, focusing on processes that build the capacity of groups. The degree is grounded in social action theory and complexity theory, which claim that organizations are non-linear, social systems which are produced and reproduced through the ongoing interactions and activities of their members, are socially constructed systems of shared meaning, and are self-organizing (Day & Day, 1977; Smircich, 1983; Goldspink & Kay, 2003). Leadership programs traditionally focus on either leader development or strategies associated with leadership processes. This program of leadership development will focus on fostering students’ self-understandings and abilities as the necessary prerequisites for engaging in leadership processes that permit people to work together in meaningful and productive ways." (From the proposal.)
