LDST 300-01: THEORIES AND MODELS OF LEADERSHIP SPRING 2012 Professor: George R. Goethals, Jepson Hall Room 235 e-mail: [email protected] Telephone: 287-6354 Introduction This course considers theories and models of leadership. Together we will explore a range of classic and contemporary approaches to leadership, and their application to understanding leaders, followers, and the situations they encounter. A calendar listing topics and readings for each day is attached. The assigned books for the course are Leading Minds by Howard Gardner and Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. Assigned articles and chapters not in these books are available on Course Reserves, as noted by the designation (CR) after those assignments. The number following CR (e.g., CR1) indicates where you can find each reading in the CR listing of the readings. Course Requirements 1. All students in the course are expected to attend class and to come fully prepared to participate in discussion. 2. Each week you should email me brief – about 150 words – questions or comments on either Tuesday’s or Thursday’s reading (except for the first and last weeks). All comments are due at 8:00 AM on the day of the class, and I will respond to them as soon as possible. Please be sure to include in your email a question that you would like us to discuss in class. The syllabus lists whether odd or even-numbered groups should submit an email for each day, and I will let you know whether you are in an odd or even-numbered group during our first week of classes. 3. There will be five groups in all, and each one leads a class session applying and assessing recent reading. I will meet with each group to plan that session. 4. There will be an exam on the material from the first part of the course on Tuesday, February 28 and an exam on the material from the second part of the course on Tuesday, April 19. 5. A 15-page paper developing a theory of leadership, based on the material from the course, is due on Friday, April 27. You may do the paper individually or in pairs. Those who do the paper in pairs must submit individual assessments of the relative contributions of the two group members. Sixty percent of your course grade will be based on your two exam grades (20% each) and your grade on the paper (20%). 15% will be based on your grade for class2 participation, 15% will be based on your emailed comments, and 10% will be based on your group presentation.
