Notes:
This course is designed to help students develop essential leadership skills and capabilities needed to navigate uncertainty, complexity, and change in future work environments. It emphasizes self-reflection and experiential learning as a means of achieving these outcomes.
EDSF 620 covers both the theory and the practice of leadership development in volatile, uncertain, comples, and/or ambiguous (VUCA) contexts, integrating research-based frameworks like the Skills Horizon with hands-on skill-building in areas such as psychological safety, cultural intelligence, learning agility, collaboration, and change leadership.
