Leadership Principles and Practices PUAF 692 (Offered by Judy S. Brown, Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor)
		This course is designed as a series of "leadership off-sites" in which we will spend a full day together exploring theories, the practice/skills, and the people-real leaders. The longer class format allows us to settle into the subject in a more thoughtful way. And the Friday format is akin to "leadership off-sites" that organizations create for their leaders to give them a chance to step back from the day to day demands of their work, and to learn together.
