Theory and practice in development of leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities with regard to effecting change within an organization's environment. 4. Theory and practice in group dynamics, process consulting, and group facilitation. This course must include studies in: process design and consultation; group facilitation skills; competition for commitments; problem management; emotional intelligence within groups; inter-group dynamics; and resistance to change. 5. Theory and practice in understanding organizations as open systems and develop skills in organization diagnosis. 6. Theory and practice in the dynamics of organizational change. 7. Theory and practice in the dynamics of complex change and the nature of effective change leadership. 8. Theory and practice in facilitating strategic planning. 9. Theory and practice in planning and applying a variety of intervention approaches at the individual, group, inter-group, and organizational levels. The ordering period is 30 September 2016 through 29 September 2017.
