Course Title: Leading Fearless Change (MGMT 379)

Brief Course Description: Leading change is hard; just ask anyone who has tried. Yet, any person with a good idea has the potential to make that idea a reality if s/he knows effective change management strategies. This course will examine how leaders throughout history have been visionaries of ideas and made changes happen in many different situations and organizations. The goal is to equip students with the strategies they need to become successful leaders of change in their personal and professional lives.
