Perspectives on Environmental Leadership: A Leadership Toolkit (Fall-1 )

This course equips you with core leadership and systems-thinking tools to help you navigate YSE, Yale, and your future career with increased clarity and confidence, regardless of the specialization path you may take. Both leadership and systems-thinking tools are grounded in fostering an increased appreciation of your unique perspective and the valuable perspectives of others. Through study of frameworks and reflection accompanied by peer-to-peer discussion, you will firmly establish a connection between a questioned and confirmed articulation of Purpose, clarified Prioritization, visualized Potential, and maximized Progress to effect positive change at individual, organizational, and system levels. The course will also highlight opportunities for greater depth provided by other courses and activities across the School, including ENV554 in Fall 2. An additional intended outcome is that you all feel welcome at YSE, appreciative of others, and confident you belong in an inclusive larger learning community of YSE
