This course focuses on organizational epistemology. After considering the movement from manufacturing goods and services to management of knowledge, this course will present to students key ideas in organizational learning and develop concrete skills in students to facilitate the process of learning in the organizational context.

Building upon a foundation in applied ethics, Lasallian values, and the notion of "servant leadership," this course seeks to situate leadership in the context of service. This course uses study dynamics such as case study methodology, biography, and observation to develop skills for enhancing organizational ethics and orientation to service.

This course explores the connection between leadership and language. Students will focus on developing skills in reading and writing in the language of their organization, as well as developing their skills in leading organizational discourse. At the end of this course, students will develop a written development plan to enhance their skills in managing organizational text and discourse.

This course will develop students' ability to understand the role of research in organizational alignment. Students will demonstrate the ability to read and interpret the data resulting from research, discern the general quality of such research, assist organizations in making a good-fit in research tools, and shape organizational behaviors which respond to data.

Students undertake an intensive analysis of a specific issue or problem area related to leadership. Students develop the proposal which includes a focused topic of inquiry, a review of the literature, and a statement of the chosen mode of organizational intervention. Students discuss results and future options for organizational learning. The internship is designed to provide students with a forum to integrate their undergraduate studies for workplace change.
