Course Description: 

The success or failure of most organizations depends on their ability to utilize two types of capital effectively: financial and human. While organizations must have a core value proposition at the heart of the enterprise, be it a service or a product that it provides to its customers, they depend upon effective leadership, management, and execution by individuals and teams to deliver that value proposition in a profitable way. Provides insights into the link between people and business results and into the ways companies manage talent to improve performance. Students gain an understanding of how to lead teams, how to start and build a company, and how to support their own careers. The ability to manage people effectively to achieve superior business results is a leadership differentiator. In an increasingly competitive and global business environment, hiring, developing, engaging, and retaining strategically relevant talent is a critical competitive advantage. Students consider how to apply a range of best practices to their own organization’s business needs.
