FYS 1222 - Heroic Leaders & Evil Tyrants

Credits: 4
George Washington, Winston Churchill, Queen Boudica, and Genghis Khan. The annals of human history are filled with examples of these and other valiant leaders and vile dictators. But how can we assess the positive and negative qualities of leadership that make leaders great, terrible, or merely mediocre? This course will examine theories of leadership that stem from multiple disciplines, including political science,
communication, business administration, and military science, while also examining a rich diversity of political and senior wartime leaders, both past and present.
