This applied seminar is designed for working professionals who want to understand their roles as change agents within the organizations (broadly defined) in which they work, regardless of whether or not they occupy formal leadership positions. The course is focused on examining how change happens in organizations, and considers organizational need, planning for change, and implementing change. Change efforts originating both inside and outside of organizations will be considered. Students will have the opportunity to think about and apply how the psychological notion of “personal influence” can contribute to the social and institutional goals of their organizations.
