UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, Department of Social Welfare, is pleased to offer the
Graduate Course SW270:
Being a Leader and the Effective Exercise of Leadership: An Ontological / Phenomenological Model

Promise of This Course
"You will leave this course being a leader and exercising leadership effectively as your natural self-expression."

The editors of Harvard's Handbook For Teaching Leadership, Scott Snook (Senior Lecturer, Harvard Business School), Nitin Nohria (Dean of Harvard Business School), and Rakesh Khurana (Dean of Harvard College) write the following about this Leadership Course:

"How does one teach leadership in a way that not only informs [students] about leadership but also transforms them into actually being leaders? …this eclectic group of scholars argues for adopting a decidedly ontological approach [being contrasts with knowing] to leadership education that promises to leave students actually being leaders."
