Integrating Personal and Organizational Success - 4 credits

This class explores the dynamics that help the organization and the individual become successful together. An empowering cycle develops when both the person and the organization are successful. But how does that happen? This course explores options and opportunities, including the use of concepts such as systems thinking, organizational learning, knowledge management, and appreciative inquiry. Students are encouraged to build a personal model for success that will be useful at all levels in an organization with which they are familiar. This model should be relevant, realistic, replicable and renewable across increasing levels of responsibility in the organization.
