EPS7532 The Principle of Objectivity
1.5 credit elective
Entrepreneurship is defined as a mindset; a way of thinking and acting. Central to this mindset is the principle of objectivity. Objectivity about oneself and the current situation empowers a leader to see clearly, make sound judgments, lead others and execute effectively. The challenge is that most of us cannot be objective about how we related to ourselves, situations or the other people in our lives. It is simply the nature of the mind!
This is what we tend to do:
We experience through our senses a fact whether it is an object, a person, an action, or a situation. In an instant, we project our own fears, mental models and background onto that fact.
The result:
We see something other than what it is, a misperception or; one object or situation is mistaken for another or the value of an object or circumstance is exaggerated; seen for more than it is.
With all that going on, how can we see things clearly, make sound judgments and be effective leaders? The goal of this course is to help you to develop your mind-set and mental focus to engage the people, business challenges and performance expectations with the clarity of mind to maximize your overall effectiveness. In out discussions we will talk about objectivity, a mindset that will help you react appropriately to changing dynamics, make sound decisions and improve your relationships with your colleagues. We will apply this framework to the entrepreneurial process and the corporate environment. You will work together to craft a customized personal framework from which to build a successful career.
