<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt">“Introduction to Leadership Studies” taught by Claire Delisle of The University of Ottawa: </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt">Leadership affects everyone. It is present in all our lives. In this class, students will explore different ways of understanding leadership.
James McGregor Burns first published his major text <i>Leadership </i>in 1978, and since that time, the field of Leadership Studies has become a discipline of its own. With over 250 Leadership Studies in the US and half a dozen in Canada, the study of leadership
has become a vibrant and ever evolving field of study. Students will look at different ways to approach the study of leadership and explore its relational, transformational, situational, social identity, collective, charismatic, emotional and ethical dimensions.
A lecture format will be used with video clips to highlight issues, and class discussion to deepen the understanding of leadership and what styles and approaches make it effective. Real-life situations will be drawn upon of different leaders in order to excavate
different theories of leadership and examine some of the challenges of being a “leader”. Leadership will also be thought about and how it is practiced in different settings and in everyday life. Discussions around toxic leadership as well as examining the
role of emotions in leading will take place. A dialogical approach will be used in which students are provided with a space to share, and are invited to contribute to knowledge discovery by bringing their experiences and ideas to bear on the subject under
discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt">Psychology can help us understand how high-level performers reach the top of their profession. This course considers how psychological factors
influence outcomes across sport, exercise, and other performance environments. A focus is placed on understanding how successful performers create conditions that bring themselves closer to realizing their potential. Topics include self-confidence, goal-setting, imagery,
arousal regulation, coaching and leadership, and team dynamics. We’ll also examine the psychological characteristics of peak performance, how athletes experience and recover from injuries, and how participation influences physical and mental health. Readings
will strike a balance between theory, research, and application. After completing the course, students will leave with a deeper understanding of performance excellence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
