About the Course:

History 
The Introduction to Leadership DeCal is the longest running special interest business course at UC Berkeley. Fall 2011 will be our twentieth consecutive semester. The course's founder, Haas alumnus Christopher Zobrist, noticed the dearth of opportunities for students to build their leadership skills in an academic setting. He took it upon himself to create a course that would provide students with the best tools and resources to build their leadership skills with: themselves.

Course
Today, our students are encouraged to develop their own leadership skills through dynamic discussions and interactive, team-building exercises. We also go over Harvard Business Review case studies and have guest speakers to give students the opportunity to learn from individuals who have displayed leadership in their professional careers.

Topics of the course include, but are not limited to: 

• Assessing Leadership Abilities
• Public Speaking: Communicating as a Leader
• Building and Leading an Effective Team
• Decision Making, Negotiations, and Conflict Resolution
• Common Pitfalls in Leadership
