Leadership Theory

This course explores the essence of leadership not as a special ability possessed by special individuals, but as a skill that anyone can acquire: the ability to collaborate with others to achieve goals. Tracing the historical evolution of leadership theories, we will unravel how leadership has changed over time. Furthermore, leadership is not simply about leading people. We will practically examine "followership"—supporting a team—"communication skills"—listening to and respecting the opinions of others—and "decision-making ability"—the ability to face challenges. In today's society, where diverse values intersect, the goal is to cultivate the ability to exercise one's own unique leadership style and co-create with those around them.

How seniors learned

With the drive and collaborative skills I've cultivated, I'm now in a position to support others.

Kosuke Nakahara (College of Education and Social Transformation 4th year) *At the time of the interview
From J. F. Oberlin Senior High School, Tokyo
I was drawn to this university because it offers learning opportunities based on my own interests. I developed collaborative skills through activities such as organizing the university festival and participating in a band. In the future, I'm also interested in jobs like producer or manager who support artists.
