APEX 100 - Leadership and Transformation

3 Credit Hours
What grand vision seeks to emerge in and through me? What leadership qualities do I have to cultivate to make this vision true? This course introduces students to emerging paradigms of visionary leadership that go beyond transactional approaches that emphasize self-interest and utility. Visionary leaders call forth the best in people, organizing them around an energizing sense of purpose. This paradigm focuses on who a leader is as a foundation for what a leader does. It encourages people to awaken to a deeper purpose within themselves as a means for transformation. This course places special emphasis on the spiritual and contemplative dimensions of leadership formation, encourages students to identify and cultivate core values and character strengths and helps students discern how to best serve their own leadership vision.
