Course description and aims

This course aims to educate students on cutting-edge research in the psychology of leadership. Students will learn the 5R (Readying, Reflecting, Representing, Realizing, and Reporting) tools of Identity Leadership and analyze a real-life world leadership situation through this lens, which they will report on in a short presentation and discussion at an online symposium.
