At the dedication of Brigham Young University-Hawaii in 1955, President David O. McKay stated: “From this school, I’ll tell you, will go men and women whose influence will be felt for good towards the establishment of peace internationally.” Our objective in this course will be to highlight a few management and leadership principles and practices that will assist us in fulfilling that prophetic vision.

Required Materials

• Cherrington, et.al. “Organizational Effectiveness” (available online)

Project

An exercise in observation. Choose a group setting (a project for another class; or at work; or in a Church advisory council) and observe the actions of the participants. Then, describe the presence of 5 topics of leadership or group dynamics that you observed in that setting. This report should be turned in on the last day of class, December 3.

Etc.

The “usual stuff” applies: adherence to the Honor Code, accountability, respect for others and property, use of English language … yada, yada, yada. In addtion, to me the term “make-up” refers only to cosmetics. So, exams will not be given in days other than those announced, and late work gets a discounted score.
