UNCP 4502 Lead Like Ignatius

Are you hoping to take on leadership roles once you graduate? If so, what type of leader would you like to be? St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, provides an inspiring approach for future leaders. Identifying and applying our gifts, reflecting on our experiences, constantly seeking improvement, making sound decisions, and considering our impact on others these are just some of the practical hallmarks of Ignatian spirituality that will be explored as we consider our personal and professional leadership. Based on a book by Chris Lowney, Heroic Leadership: Best Practices from a 450-Year-Old Company that Changed the World, and other selected readings, seniors in this two-credit course will discover resources and skills that will serve you in the transition to life beyond the University.
