An introduction to the study of general leadership principles and their application in the African-American community. This course is primarily intended to identify key African-American leaders and to analyze their particular leadership traits and behaviors, in terms of the current data on leadership, in general. Students will have an opportunity to identify and assess their own leadership potential and also to assess their own attitudes and behaviors in structured leadership simulated situations, and have assessments made by their classmates in the same or similar situations. The course uses Sierra Leone as an exemplar of western Africa and as a model for analysis. Particular attention will be devoted to the roles of Christian missionaries, western secularism, Islam and indigenous religions.
Parking is available in front of the building.
