The leadership skills concentration within the Department of Management and Global Business aims to help students to master some of the critical "soft skills" necessary to progress through a successful career. With its focus on courses such as Executive Leadership, Effective Leadership Communications, and Negotiations, students should emerge with a greater understanding of themselves and have built a toolkit for effectively interacting with others. The department will also offer course options for this concentration that focus on teamwork, diversity, and issues involved with cross-cultural management.
RBS students pursuing the leadership skills concentration will take one requirement (3 credits), one elective that must be chosen from a list of two (3 credits or 6 credits if both are taken), and if needed, one extra elective from a list of courses offered by the department (0-3 credits).

You cannot 'double count' or
overlap any courses between RBS-NB majors and RBS-NB concentrations. All
concentration courses must be fulfilled by courses not required by an RBS-NB
major. Degree Navigator will not remove the double counted courses and it is
the student's responsibility to monitor this manually.
