LDST 200: Introduction to Leadership Studies and Applications Fall 2022 (Aug. 22-Oct. 14) Instructor Information: Jacob H. Stutzman, Ph.D Email: jhstutz@ku.edu Office Hours: by appointment (Links to an external site.) Required Materials Heifetz, R., Grashow, A., & Linsky, M. (2009). The practice of adaptive leadership: Tools and tactics for changing your organization and the world. Boston, MA: Harvard Business Press Institute for Leadership Studies. (2020). LDST 201: Introduction to Leadership Coursepack (5e) [provided on Canvas] Course Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will examine and recall various theoretical approaches to leadership and leadership development; recall the four core leadership competencies and integrate each competency into their personal leadership development; explain and differentiate the role of ethics, diversity, and community development in leadership; theorize the ethical implications and applications of Adaptive Leadership and the four core leadership competencies; identify acts of Adaptive Leadership and distinguish between technical problems and adaptive challenges; distinguish between a learning/experimenting paradigm versus a problem/solution paradigm, along with contrasting the strengths and limitations of both; evaluate his/her own personal leadership strengths and challenges based on deliberate reflection; effectively communicate knowledge about and applications of leadership to others. How will we get from where we are to where we are hoping to go? Each week, you will work through a module that includes video lectures and readings (both from the assigned texts and some provided by the instructor) that will help you build a base of knowledge about leadership studies generally and Adaptive Leadership specifically. Each module will also include a quiz, a journal, and other writing assignments designed to help you put your knowledge to use by testing it and applying it to relevant scenarios. Most of the assignments will be completed individually, but there will be a limited amount of collaborative work. By thoughtfully and carefully completing each assignment, you will develop your knowledge of Adaptive Leader and explore the ways in which the principles of Adaptive Leadership can be useful in your own contexts. Assessments/Assignments Journals (7 @25 pts ea.) In each module (except for Module 8) there will be a prompt based on the material in the module. Responses should integrate the material from that week. The assignment expectations and sample journal entries are available on pp. 16-23 of the coursepack. Quizzes (6, 80 pts total) In each module (except for Module 8), there is a short quiz based on the material in the module. You may take each quiz twice, but the most recent score will always be the score that is recorded. Additional information is on p. 24 of the coursepack. Exams (2 @80 pts ea.) There will be two multiple choice exams in the course. These exams will cover material presented in the readings, webinars, supporting documents, and videos comprising the Modules. Exams will open and close with the Modules, so each exam must be taken before the Module deadline for that week. Exam dates are listed in the course schedule. Once you login to take the exam, you must complete it within 60 minutes. You will only have one chance to complete each exam. Study guides for each exam are available on Canvas throughout the semester. Reflection Paper (150 pts) You will complete a final reflection paper that draws on the material covered throughout the course. A full description, rubric, and sample paper are in the coursepack on pp. 38-50 of the coursepack. Application Project (3 parts @80 pts ea.) You will work through a three-part project to do the work of Adaptive Leadership in a community to which you belong. Each phase of the project will build on the work done before, with the first phase due in Module 3. TruTalent Assessment/Letter (10 pts for the results, 40 pts for the letter) Each of you will complete the TruTalent assessment through the University Career Center and upload your results when they are ready. In Module 5, there is also an assignment that calls on you to reflect on your results in the form of a letter. The specific assignment will be available in that module. Ethics Discussions (30 pts) In Modules 4, 5, & 6, you will respond to a prompt and then reply to your classmates' responses in an annotation assignment. Details will be available in Module 4. Ethics Paper (75 pts) Using the framework provided in Module 4, each of you will prepare an ethics case study on a situation of your choosing. Details are in Module 4. Self-Care Plan (40 pts) Each of you will also complete a self-care plan, because doing leadership is hard work, and you can't pour from an empty cup. Details for the assignment are in Module 7.
