Delivered: Asynchronously Do you aspire to lead a large organization someday? Are you planning to be an entrepreneur? Are you curious to know why some leaders and organizations succeed while others fail? Do you wish to understand your own leadership potential? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, BMGT 289J: Exploring Leadership, will benefit you. Exploring Leadership is a business course that provides insights and expertise needed to effectively lead individuals and teams. It fulfills the I-Series and Scholarship in Practice general education requirements. Individual coaching aimed at improving your leadership potential will be provided. BMGT289J invites you on a journey of personal exploration and development to become a better leader. To achieve this goal, the course offers an extensive examination of leadership in organizations and provides you with a set of hands-on experiences that are designed to enhance your self-awareness and capacity for effective leadership. Contrary to popular belief, people are not born leaders; leadership skills can be learned. Everyone, at one time or another, will have (or has had) the opportunity to be a leader. The course is based on the belief that leadership opportunities and challenges present themselves everyday. It is up to you to recognize and make the most of these opportunities, and this class will teach you how to do so. The course will strengthen your ability to supervise others, build teams, manage group dynamics, motivate individuals, communicate effectively, and deal with conflict. The online material includes articles, cases, and simulations from Harvard Business Publishing. Harvard Manage Mentor is an award winning and nationally recognized on-demand learning resource that teaches critical management skills. Students will learn about the best practices in management and leadership through lessons, then develop and practice these skills through realistic simulations.

Along with class credit, students will also receive a Harvard ManageMentor® completion certificate. The assessments and simulations used in this course place students right in the mix of realistic business scenarios where application of the concepts and frameworks is critical in effective decision making.
