COWL 11A: Leading from Within
University of California, Santa Cruz
First in a three-part sequence that builds the foundation for aspiring leaders, although anyone can join the sequence at any time. Students explore personal leadership through self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and values-driven activities, build key leadership theories, reflect and assess their strengths and opportunities for growth, and develop a leadership mindset. Through interactive experiential learning activities such as self-assessments, reflective journaling, and case studies, students use new ways of thinking as leadership principles are applied to real-world scenarios. (Formerly Experiential Leadership Program Core Course: Tools for Leadership and Conflict Resolution.)
