BUSI 88A

About this course

This course explores the nature of leadership in a variety of areas and emphasizes the business field, explaining the difference between leadership and management as it applies both to corporate human talent development and in entrepreneurial contexts. Students will use an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, experiential exercises, and critically-reflective practices to identify and develop communication, interpersonal, critical thinking, and other selected personal attributes. The course emphasizes team and project management; negotiation and conflict resolution; systems-thinking, pattern-recognition, problem-solving, judgement, and risk-taking skills; as well as ethics and grit. Students will build the capacity to deal more effectively with our ever-changing, ambiguous, uncertain, and interdependent world.

No section is scheduled at Foothill College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
