DESCRIPTION
This course focuses on leadership and conflict resolution at three levels: (1) direct interpersonal conflict, (2) intervention with others, and (3) group and organizational conflict. On these levels, we will examine the leader's role as a conflict negotiator, peacemaker, and change initiator. We will look at leadership practice in a variety of settings while staying rooted in public service organizations and students' experience. The learning methods of this course will include group discussion, case study analysis, in-class simulations, reflection on readings, and short lectures to provoke further thought and application. Out of class assignments are designed to be a practical and transformational experience focused on analysis of his or her own approach to conflict, and reflection on a 'change initiative' of their choice. The goal is to increase one's capacity for leadership by exposing students to different options and strategies for engaging conflict as a leader and follower both professionally and personally.
