Description
RCM 804 promotes an advanced understanding of leadership as communication, and in particular as a form of complex rhetorical activity. Practical strategies for improving skill across several dimensions of the leadership dynamic: interpersonal, rhetorical, social, ethical, and political, will be informed by the comparative study and application of theories of rhetorical communication and leadership. Class discussion and written analysis of case studies drawing from a range of academic and professional experiences will challenge students to assess their experience of leadership (as both leaders and as responsive to leadership of others) and to be able to offer constructive and substantive critiques of leadership as projected and implemented.
Prerequisite(s): 6 credit units of undergraduate RCM courses or equivalent, OR RCM 800, OR 24 credit units of undergraduate courses.
Note(s): Students with credit for RCM 404 cannot receive credit for this course.
