MKTG 2010 - Workplace Leadership

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture 3
Course Description: This course includes essential elements of leadership in a workplace environment. Many businesses today operate with a management structure that requires collaboration across teams and functions. To succeed, today’s leaders must influence those around them, without relying on vested authority. Topics include leadership styles, team building, motivation, delegation, morale (climate and culture-building), and employee retention. Course assignments and activities provide opportunities to discuss making business decisions, executing those decisions, and accepting accountability for the outcomes, including the need to re-evaluate decisions and adjust as needed to meet company goals and objectives.
