Description
MS2113 explores the foundations of leadership with an added focus on the dimensions of creative and innovative leadership strategies and styles. Students learn to apply strategies of personal motivation and team-building in the context of planning, executing, and assessing team exercises and events. Students also employ communication skills to lead troops in problem-solving exercises. Tactical skills to include land navigation are stressed through a series of in-class and practical exercises in a field environment. Writing and briefing in the Army style are stressed through a series of written assignments and in-class briefings. Candidates are then required to apply their knowledge outside the classroom in a hands-on, performance-oriented environment during a weekly lab and 3-day field exercise supervised by GOLD Cadre. This course is restricted to members of the GOLD program.
