ENG 4010 - Defence Leadership

Students will understand what makes defence leadership stand apart from others and why it is a critical component of a nation's defence capability. A successful military leader demonstrates commitment to the welfare of individual soldiers while also understanding that accomplishment of the assigned mission objectives may require high degrees of personal risk not found in typical professions. This course will examine the historic qualities defining military leadership on the battlefields of old and study its relevance to the increasingly electronic modern equivalent. Important texts will be sampled and central themes examined via case study and guest lecture. Designed for those seeking a career within the defence sector, students will learn how to interact within the defence leadership environment.
