This course examines what it means to be a leader through narrative presented in media such as text or film. Such works of creative fiction aspire not simply to depict actions and events, but also to lay bare the inner psychology of protagonists. They capture and convey realities with a psychological depth that social scientists cannot always replicate. Students will study such narratives to understand various kinds of leadership skills and leadership types. By creating narratives of their own, students will practice the communication skills that leaders need. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
