This course focused on leadership in practice, with an emphasis on ethics, decision-making, and teamwork in professional settings. Much of the course involved discussion-based assignments that required analyzing leadership concepts and responding to guided questions about character, behavior, and ethical leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the key themes we explored was the idea of a \u201cmensch\u201d and what it means to be compassionate in leadership. Assignments asked questions such as how and in what situations a mensch demonstrates compassion and how strong leaders build and maintain relationships. These reflections were supported by course readings and articles that we analyzed and referenced in our responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another major assignment in the course was a book review of The Culture Code<\/em> by Daniel Coyle. The book examines how effective teams develop trust, communication, and a shared sense of purpose. It also emphasizes fairness, integrity, and the importance of valuing each person\u2019s contribution in building strong team environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, this course helped me think more critically about leadership as something that is shaped by behavior, ethics, and relationships rather than position or title. This is especially relevant to cybersecurity and IT, where collaboration, trust, and accountability are essential when working in technical and high-responsibility environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This course focused on leadership in practice, with an emphasis on ethics, decision-making, and teamwork in professional settings.
