Business Management 300 – Leadership
Principles
Instructor: Marcus H.
Martins, Ph.D.
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 leadership principles and practices that will assist us in fulfilling
that prophetic vision.

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