Leadership: From War to Peace
Marco Arnaudo
French & Italian
The class analyzes the topic of military leadership and its applications to civilian contexts such as business and management. We read classic works by military thinkers such as Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, and Clausewitz, and we focus on the issue of leadership. How do these thinkers conceive of leadership? How do they think a leader can influence their followers? How can one make the best decisions in a situation of uncertainty and under pressure? The class also includes visit to IU special collections; the screening of a classic movie on leadership, and several practical and diplomatic games to exemplify dynamics of leadership.
