Leading Through Adversity

This class in Leading Through Adversity: Historical Case Studies will take an interdisciplinary approach that includes psychology, communication, and management and examine some of the most historic human error case studies. The class will explore scenarios where: leaders and managers must solve significant problems; humans have made critical errors; the role of the individual is vital in solving these problems in various settings; and recommendations need to be made so as to learn from these scenarios and stories. These case studies will explore a variety of areas: societal problems (for example – leadership in the face of challenging societal norms), cultural problems (for example – leadership issues in different cultural contexts), decision-making (for example – the biases that cause human error and prevent robust decision making), and understanding how individuals interact (for example – how humans working in groups can cause problems and how we solve them), to name a few. J-term and Summer.
