Women in Leadership, MGMT 490 A ,Spring 2015

What do the fabulous females above have in common? They are remarkable leaders and role models in business and the world, beginning with Pepsi’s Indra Nooyi in the top left. All have had to address questions of life purpose, leadership style, family priorities, work-life balance, and building confidence on their road to success. 

We will use their lives and the experiences of local guest speakers to find personal answers to the same questions, enhance skills and create a personal vision. We will:

• Interact with at least seven local women in leadership positions.* 
• Apply a leadership framework that has helped women around the world succeed
• Create a personal vision board to picture your ideal career and life
• Examine different ideas of work-life balance
• Practice your authentic leadership style
• Translate your values, dreams and goals into a life worthy of you

*These include a vice president, a successful entrepreneur, co-founders of a business that grooms women leaders, a manager whose husband stays home with the children, and a novelist. You will also have the opportunity to contact and personally interview another leader you admire.
