Foundations Of Leadership 2

This is an entry-level survey course to introduce students to leadership theory and skills at the small group / unit level. Course expands on small unit leadership but increases the leader's extent of control from a 9-person squad to a 40-person platoon. It requires students to exercise effective communication skills by placing them in situational leadership positions. Different military scenarios (offense, defense, reconnaissance) are employed where students can pick from different leadership techniques to make decisions. Open to all students and does not include an obligation to the U.S. Army. . Participation in the Leadership Lab and field trips are optional but encouraged.
