HARVARD UNIVERSITY Harvard Kennedy School (MLD-201A) Exercising Leadership: The Politics of Change Fall 2015 General Course Information This course provides a diagnostic and strategic foundation for leadership practice. Designed for professionals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, the course builds upon the extraordinary experience of many of our students. The purpose of the course is to increase one’s capacity to lead with and without authority, across boundaries, and from any political or organizational position. In a world in which most organizations, communities, and societies face enormous adaptive pressures, the practice of leadership is critical – the practice of mobilizing systems of people to thrive in changing and challenging times. In this course, we apply theory to practice, clarifying the relationship among key concepts – leadership, management, authority, power, influence, followership, citizenship – to provide a practical and coherent theoretical framework. We develop both diagnostic tools for analyzing the complexity of change in social systems, and strategies of action. These action strategies include: using authority and power, mobilizing responsibility across boundaries, managing economies of attention, generating innovation, building trust, orchestrating multi-party conflict, regulating disequilibrium, refashioning narratives to both build and depart from history, and building a culture of adaptability for the long-term. In addition, we begin to explore the challenge of managing the inevitable personal stresses and dangers of leading change. The course draws from several disciplines: Philosophy and biology provide the concepts of paradigmatic change and adaptation. Political science and business management provide perspectives on the functions of authority. History and literature provide a rich caseload from which to explore the nature of adaptive success and failure. Social psychology and system dynamics provide insight into social systems and an approach to diagnosing their productivity and dysfunctions. Music provides a language for working with the practices of inspiration, creativity, listening, partnership, and harmony (consonance, dissonance, and resolution). Several courses at the Kennedy School build from the foundation of MLD-201, including courses on conflict resolution and negotiation, public narrative and organizing, persuasion and communication, ethics and group dynamics, and applications of leadership in specific policy and institutional contexts. In addition, students are strongly encouraged to take the sister course for MLD-201 in January, MLD-364j: Leadership on the Line, which utilizes the systemic framework of MLD-201 to cultivate at the personal level the effective deployment of oneself in practice.

(MLD-201A) Exercising Leadership: The Politics of Change

Fall 2015

General Course Information This course provides a diagnostic and strategic foundation for leadership practice. Designed for professionals from diverse backgrounds and cultures, the course builds upon the extraordinary experience of many of our students. The purpose of the course is to increase one’s capacity to lead with and without authority, across boundaries, and from any political or organizational position. In a world in which most organizations, communities, and societies face enormous adaptive pressures, the practice of leadership is critical – the practice of mobilizing systems of people to thrive in changing and challenging times. In this course, we apply theory to practice, clarifying the relationship among key concepts – leadership, management, authority, power, influence, followership, citizenship – to provide a practical and coherent theoretical framework. We develop both diagnostic tools for analyzing the complexity of change in social systems, and strategies of action. These action strategies include: using authority and power, mobilizing responsibility across boundaries, managing economies of attention, generating innovation, building trust, orchestrating multi-party conflict, regulating disequilibrium, refashioning narratives to both build and depart from history, and building a culture of adaptability for the long-term. In addition, we begin to explore the challenge of managing the inevitable personal stresses and dangers of leading change. The course draws from several disciplines: Philosophy and biology provide the concepts of paradigmatic change and adaptation. Political science and business management provide perspectives on the functions of authority. History and literature provide a rich caseload from which to explore the nature of adaptive success and failure. Social psychology and system dynamics provide insight into social systems and an approach to diagnosing their productivity and dysfunctions.

Lecture and Discussion Sessions Tuesdays 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Room L-140 Consultation Group Sessions 1½ hours per week Times and rooms to be arranged Debriefing Sessions Thursdays 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Room L-140 In addition to the weekly lecture/discussion, consultation group, and debriefing session, the course has several evening sessions that use films and musical exercises to illustrate key skills and concepts. The three music exercise evenings, in particular, are required -- please review carefully the dates listed on the syllabus for these sessions. Design: The course uses a variety of means to learn theory and the arts of practice. In addition to the traditional methods of lectures, readings, and films, the course uses three more innovative teaching methods: student cases, “case-in-point” learning, and structured exercises. First, the course devotes a majority of its time to analyzing the past professional experiences that students bring from around the world and across sectors -- each student works on a personal case study of leadership throughout the term. Second, students analyze the social and political dynamics of problem-solving and learning common to many organizations and societies facing critical challenges by analyzing the evolving dynamics of the class itself as a case-in-point in collective problem-solving, learning, and change. Third, through structured exercises of both reflection and action, some of which involve poetry and music, students learn a variety of authoritative, creative, and communication skills integral to the practice of leadership.

Consultation Group Sessions: The full class is divided randomly into small groups of 7-9 students. The groups meet for 1½ hours a week at a time to be arranged (there are several options from which to choose). The purpose of these sessions is to give students a laboratory to: 1. Apply what they learn in class and in the readings to their professional experiences. 2. Investigate ways to exercise leadership--with and without authority. 3. Discover and analyze the dynamics by which groups accomplish and avoid critical and

creative problem-solving work. The organization of these groups is described in detail in class. Briefly, on a rotating basis, each student prepares a case study from his or her professional experience and presents it to the group for consultation. A guide to preparing the case study is distributed in class. In addition, each student serves as the chairperson for the group on a rotating basis. During the large class debriefing sessions on Thursdays, students develop a framework for leadership analysis by analyzing one of the student cases with the help of the instructor. Requirements: 1. Complete and on-time attendance. Only key religious holidays, and medical and family emergencies are permitted. Job interviews are not excused absences. 2. Presentation of a case study to the small group. 3. A weekly written analysis of the consultation group sessions (3-4 pages) in addition to several short written assignments (1-3 pages). 4. A final paper analyzing aspects of leadership (10-13 pages). This can be based on the

personal case study. Students who also take MLD-364j, Leadership on the Line, will submit a single paper (14-18 pages) to fulfill the final paper requirement for both courses.

Grading: Classroom work -- 30% Weekly papers -- 40% Final paper -- 30% The classroom work grade is based upon one’s effort and the quality of one’s contribution in the class, and not the quantity or volume of comments. Our key evaluative questions are: How deeply did each student draw upon and analyze his or her experience? Who well did one mobilize the learning of fellow students in the class? Readings: All course readings will be available on the course page. All other course books will be available on reserve in the Kennedy School Library. The readings listed each week should be read in preparation for that week’s discussion.
