Purpose

Open to all undergraduates, Dynamics of Effective Leadership is designed for students who have minimal leadership training or experience at the college level. The purpose of the course is to help students learn the basics of leadership theory and start to develop essential leadership skills.

Course Design

Through readings and exercises, students explore theories of leadership and organizational behavior; study group processes such as conflict management and decision making; examine their own leadership styles; build the skills and confidence they need to lead effectively.

What past DEL students have said about the seminar . . .

“I learned more than I would have imagined about leadership. I did not know all this information was even available.”

“Activities were very helpful, as were the hands-on assignments – real-life situations . . . Format – organized and easy to follow! The activities were fun!”

“This was a really good class for me to take this semester. It always seemed like the topics we were covering coincided with issues I was encountering in other activities that I’m involved with. It gave me another perspective from which I could think about things and reflect on my experiences and in the end, I think I got a lot more out of those experiences because of that added reflection.”

Enrollment

Dynamics of Effective Leadership is available for all undergraduate students on a first-come, first-served basis during fall and spring semesters. Students will earn elective credit for completion of the course. If you have any questions, please contact Julie at lead@email.unc.edu.
