Course Description
As organizations navigate unprecedented changes driven by technology, shifting expectations, and global challenges, the need for culture-centered leadership has become paramount. This is especially true for communication leaders who will continue to shape how work is understood and practiced.
During this course, students will explore the key aspects of culture design, co-creation, and leadership for the future of work. Students will identify their own co-creation and leadership style within the context of an organization, and learn to leverage these strengths in coordination with others. They will also design specific elements of culture including working agreements, collaborative work environments, and steps for fostering autonomy within the workplace.
At the end of this course students will be able to answer the question – How do communication leaders build/support organizational culture to create environments that support psychological safety, collaboration, and drive innovation?
