Masters in Leadership

[videogamesrock]

So I'll chime in because I'm wrapping up my first semester in an MA in Leadership Studies at Marshall University.  I have read many books on leadership throughout the years and have been a small business owner for the past 17 years and now serve on a nonprofit.  Basically a leadership degree is a combination of management/psychology/entrepreneurship but more focused on personal growth.  Lots of the stuff we've covered this semester I have either personally dealt with or have read about in the past and so writing the papers have taken less than two hours out of my week.  Lots of the reading will be from books on leadership that I do find of interest, so the material sticks fairly quickly.  The professor posts case studies and you use the readings and figure out how to tackle the problem within the scenario.

An interesting item, there is a strong conclusion that most of today's workforce lacks leadership skills.  Many workers are incapable of taking charge, making decisions, and stress too much over the little things.  They are often over trained in areas such as diversity, social justice, and inclusion which makes it very difficult to make tough decisions when you are factoring in other peoples feelings.

The MPS at Bellevue didn't work out for me, as I couldn't find a single answer in the book we had to read...Not sure if the Prof. forgot to update her books to align with the version the course required.  By that Friday I logged in to drop the course and the program all together.
