This course reviews methods on how to exercise the power and influence needed to get things done through others, especially when responsibility exceeds authority. Through the use of case studies and class simulations, students learn how to develop a sufficient resource of “unofficial” power to achieve goals, deal with conflict and foster creative team behavior. Finally, students learn how to avoid naiveté and cynicism, and how to deal with power in relationships without abusing it.
