Organizational Leadership Major
Every organization needs leadership
Success in today's competitive world requires people who are knowledgeable in traditional business subjects and possess the professionalism and interpersonal skills to motivate individuals to meet the organization’s strategic goals. The Organizational Leadership major will prepare you for important leadership roles. Your personal development means learning how to be a strategic thinker and set organizational goals. Your strategic thinking will include a focus on ethical decision making, civic-mindedness, and innovation. Your focus on people will encourage team development and your own self development, leading others to success using a personal approach rather than a strict focus on impersonal productivity metrics.
