In particular, the Foundations Leadership course places special emphasis on developing a "Systems Thinking Mindset" and a "Leading Through Diversity and Innovation Mindset" as well as developing Entrepreneurial and Problem-Solving methods for Leadership. Through the use of dynamic simulations, team-building activities, case studies, role-plays, and lectures. Foundations Leadership helps students understand, apply, and diagnose competencies and skills in a repeatable development process that they can continue to build on during their MBA. (3 Credit Hours)
