LDSL 709 - Leadership Succession & Leadership Development (6)

This last course of the program is the capstone course building on the entire program as it explores the "what" and the "how" of leadership succession, development, and renewal. Students delve into: (a) new insights about how to apply Scripture to organizational leadership, (b) organizational lifecycles, and (c) new avenues for leadership development – spiritual, mental, and physical. In addition to course outcomes, a final outcome of this course is an integrative paper that allows students to tie together all nine courses. This paper takes the place of comprehensive exams in traditional Ph.D. programs, thus there is significant emphasis on the thoroughness and depth of the paper.
