Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The objective of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of historical and contemporary leadership theories and their practical applications in modern organizations. By exploring transformational, servant, authentic, adaptive, digital, creative, and other emerging leadership approaches, students will develop analytical skills to evaluate leadership effectiveness across diverse cultural and organizational contexts. The course emphasizes experiential learning through case studies, projects, and self-assessments, enabling students to critically reflect on their own leadership styles while building the competencies necessary to lead ethically, inclusively, and innovatively in dynamic environments.

Course Content:

This course explores the historical evolution of the main leadership theories, contemporary leadership theories and their practical applications in today’s dynamic and globalized business environment. It aims to develop students’ critical understanding of leadership through theoretical foundations, self-assessments, real-world case analyses, and experiential projects.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Analyze and compare major modern leadership theories.
2) Apply leadership theories to organizational problems.
3) Evaluate leadership effectiveness in different cultural and situational contexts.
4) Demonstrate leadership competencies through team-based projects.
5) Reflect on their own leadership style and development path.
6) Reach original results by using the field's interdisciplinary character
7) Position the field of leadership in the broader field of social sciences and identify its interdisciplinary relations
8) Follow the developments in the leadership field
9) Develop strategies and plans for modern leadership styles
10) Contribute to academic and applied studies in leadership
11) Identify ethical values of the field and be aware of issues such as the universality of social rights, social justice, quality, cultural values.
