What does leadership in public service look like? What does it mean to be an influential leader as an elected official, a policy advocate, or a public servant? In this six-week course, we will examine research literature, case examples, and speakers from different aspects of the public service realm, such as political office, diplomatic corps, government service, and public advocacy. Topics will include leadership capacities, diplomacy and negotiation, working with constituents, women's experiences, and effective networking.

Course limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors
