About the Course

Because it is likely you either want to improve your leader effectiveness or you may want to increase the number of leadership opportunities you have, this course will focus on outlining the factors that predict leader emergence (whether someone will emerge as a leader) and leader effectiveness. Because those predictors are numerous, this course will be broken down into three distinct parts: 1) who one is as a leader (evaluating leaders/leadership and applying to your own personality/traits/character); 2) what one's knowledge, skills, and abilities should be (KSAOs); and 3) how leaders should approach and resolve problems when in a position of leadership. Leadership develops over time and can be aided by repetition (experience), feedback, and self-reflection. Unfortunately, no one can teach you how to lead. My goal as your professor is to give you the tools that will enable you to teach yourselves how to be better leaders....

This course is the toughest among all the six courses of Ethical Leadership Specialization. The course Director Amanda McKendree is a tough task master. The course felt like doing a Ph.D., thesis, with no direct answers to any quiz or assignment. one has to go into the course materials and references deeply, to score well in the tests. There was a reference link to 'Ugli Orange case', which gives an error message of Page not found. I suggest that the links may be reviewed periodically and ensured that they lead to the intended reference materials. Many peers do not know how to write and review the assignments. Some wrote their names, some reproduced the questions, some gave a one line reply, some used Chat GPT and reproduced the answer including its introductory remarks, many wrote identical replies indicating use of AI tools. There was a quiz correlating Transactional Leadership and Kotter's eight step model, but the subject was nowhere discussed in the course or reference materials. Many peers do not appreciate the fact that SWOT Analysis is unique to individuals and scored the assignments badly. Please reconsider the Peer Review method and use computer aided evaluation by the course director for all the assignments for instant evaluation and scoring.
