ECLC2120: Leading Through Story

Class Program
Credits 4
Through art and literature, this course explores leadership through the lens of great stories. Drawing on a variety of literature and film, students will analyze characters, conflicts, and turning points, connecting these narratives to leadership theories and practices. Guided by a faith integration perspective, students will analyze stories to consider how spiritual values, moral vision, and ethical frameworks shape both the portrayal of leaders and the practice of leadership. Through guided discussion, reflective writing, and comparative analysis, participants will deepen skills in critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and self-awareness. By the end of the course, students will emerge with a richer understanding of how narrative can inspire, challenge, and shape effective leadership in real-world contexts.
