Leadership and Motivation (HROB 712)
Offered By:
Management Technology Faculty
Description
The course is offered for the Human Resource Management major. This course is based on two ideas. The first idea is that leadership will take place to the extent the leader cares about the work to be done. Equally important, the leader must care about people. Neither of these qualities is sufficient without the other, and neither can be false. People know when the leader cares. When the leader is committed to the task and is concerned about people, these qualities serve as magnets and motivators to followers, and their potential for achievement becomes enormous.
The second premise of the course is that leadership is an art that can be developed through mastery of nine key areas of success. The successful leader must possess knowledge and skills in the following areas: understanding leadership variables, the power of vision, the importance of ethics, the empowerment of people, leadership principles, understanding people, effective delegation, developing others, and performance management.
