MGT 630 - Leadership & Making of Meaning

This course will examine the leader's role in creating an environment in which individuals can enhance meaning.  We will seek a deeper understanding of the sources of both leadership and meaning in organizational life, and how leaders can enable others (and themselves) to achieve optimal experiences while fashioning a life-long purpose.  The linkage of this environment to organizational performance - to the creative act of knowledge creation and to the individual initiative that turns knowledge into a strategic reality - will also be explored.
