MB 643 - Leadership: Order and Change (SF)
This course examines the underlying concepts and principles that guide effective action toward optimizing order and change within an organization. Drawing from systems theory and the fundamental implication that sustainability is a process, not a goal, this course includes an extensive exploration of the role leaders play in sustaining organizational viability. A leader must know when, where and how to continue the existing order of things and when, where and how to facilitate change. A leader also must be able to differentiate leadership of order and change processes from the authority to impose change. Therefore, as it is essentially an optimization issue and not a maximization issue, understanding the dynamics, political attributes and implications of change are necessary.
This is a Sustainability-Focused (SF) course.
