“The decision to live on campus was the best decision I have made concerning my future in college. The community in Ingels Hall is practically an exact replica of the relationship that needs to develop more often in the outside world‚ the business-engineering relationship. In the past year that I’ve lived here‚ I’ve made the kind of friends and connections that are very valuable in today’s world.”

MW 4:30pm-5:45pm
Come discover the “soft” foundation of management and leadership! As information and data flood every aspect of our lives‚ and as our world grows increasingly complex and dynamic‚ we will explore the hidden fabric of perception‚ perspective and interpretation that enriches our understanding.
Our objective is to discover how subjective sensibilities of judgment‚ insight and intuition are vital to problem-solving‚ planning‚ creativity‚ communication‚ teamwork‚ and other core leadership skills. We will learn to enhance these competencies‚ allowing us to add distinctive value to our work‚ by 1) examining the actual decision-making processes in real organizations‚ 2) engaging in exercises designed to stretch our minds‚ hearts and senses‚ and 3) meeting with leaders who are making a difference today.
NOTE: This seminar fulfills 3 hours of the USP Social Sciences Requirement.
