[Focus] The “Students will be exposed to the concepts and theories about leadership at the individual level and will have an opportunity to build and enhance their leadership skills.” Draw from the idea that entrepreneurial leadership is about engaging potential stakeholders at multiple emergent levels to discover and create opportunities as a means of achieving an envisioned future. The course will begin with a foundational knowledge of leadership theory, then move into leadership practices and processes that translate into entrepreneurial behavior. Most of this behavior involves thinking in a manner that is different from the status quo, and most of that thinking has to be reconceptualized and articulated into a yet-unseen vision of the future; so a great deal of entrepreneurship and leadership is about selling your ideas to others. That said, this course teaches you marketable skills while letting you explore your creativity.
