Leadership and Career Development Program: LEAD-U

Tayhana Taylo and Dr. Passard Dean Email
Abstract Colleges and Universities have an overarching goal of equipping their business students with the skills they need to lead organizations in their future careers. However, traditionally, leadership is taught through a theoretical lens. Existing literature affirms that this method fails to prepare students for the pragmatic challenges they’ll face once they become company leaders. A leadership and career development program, LEAD-U, is being proposed to solve this issue. The proposed program utilizes an approach that integrates activity-based Learning and reflective practice to meet the objectives of each of the eight modules. David Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) is used to support the methods used in each module. Experiential Learning is an effective tool that can develop effective, adaptable, forward-thinking, and resilient leaders needed in today’s evolutionary business world.
