The integrated sequence of
Organizational Leadership courses develops the students'
understanding of Christian leadership and ethics. The
concentration also enhances the competencies and skills in
management, business, communication, interpersonal
relationships, problem-solving, change implementation, and
multicultural sensitivities. Equipping leaders to serve in
church, para-church organizations and societal organizations
at large supports, strengthens and fits nicely with The
Mission of Davis College, which is "... the equipping of
students with the knowledge, competencies and skills needed
in an ever-changing world for service and leadership within
the church, Christian organizations and society." This
program fills a void in leadership training and management
in any and all organizations that wish to make a difference
in their roles, markets, and contributions.
That leadership is one of the fastest growing, cutting edge
disciplines in colleges and graduate schools today should be
no surprise. Churches, Christian organizations, and
businesses of all kinds are looking for transformational
leaders who will advance the efficiency and effectiveness or
their organization, while at the same time enhancing the
development of the groups and individuals within. In the
current atmosphere of rapid global, societal and economic
change, great leaders maintain the organization's integrity
and particular mission, and provide inspiration, stability
and direction as their organizations anticipate, plan for,
and adapt to a changing environment.
