"I believe that we have not even begun to tap human potentialities, and that by continuing humble but persistent study of human behavior, we can learn consciously to create civilizations within which an increasing proportion of human beings will realize more of what they have it in them to be."

Principles and Technologies of Leadership
AC 50
8 credits
Leadership is typically understood as the ability to effect and manage change in people and organizations. Some people are leaders, it is thought, and others simply aren't. This AC takes as its starting point the truth that one is always leading and proceeds to question how and to what end. Through self-assessment, case studies, theoretical modeling and experience, this leadership training program will make use of historical and emerging leadership principles and technologies, deepen the student's understanding of the leadership resources they already have at their disposal, align their leadership aims with higher principles, discover how to be more effective leaders in every area of life, and help others do the same. Students will find this to be an effective leadership development program. No prerequisite.

I wasn't ever good in school. I limited myself and let others limit me. I didn't think I'd ever have the capacity to learn what I'm learning now. The non-traditional learning atmosphere at WGI is taking those barriers down. I'm not reading and taking a test—I'm engaging in my education and living what I'm learning. There's no excuse for me not to learn!
