Leadership and Communication

Students learn the theory and application of effective communication skills for leaders. A critical function of leaders is to represent their organization not only internally, but also to external audiences, such as the media, other organizations, stakeholder groups, the public and government. This highly interactive course improves skills in communicating messages plainly and concisely to both internal and external audiences, dealing with the media and writing clearly for people outside the organization. A key component is articulating a personal philosophy of leadership.
