The most successful organizations of the future will be those who understand how to invite, engage and retain the best employees. This dual degree offering will create a highly career path for business students seeking a career in management, with a pathway through the human resources field. Students will explore talent acquisition and engagement, with a foundation in management and leadership to optimize outcomes and ensure success.

The mission of the management and leadership major is to prepare young students for both the people and leadership challenges inherent in modern organizations. We believe that leadership is primarily an art, rather than a science, and involves the exercise of substantial judgment, creativity, and style. Educating leaders requires significant attention to both general principles and theories, and the development of the individual. This development includes building interpersonal and small group skills, gaining awareness of one’s strengths, weaknesses and values, and becoming motivated to learn continuously from experience.

Each offering in the leadership major is designed to address the issues of leadership, ethics, system dynamics and cultural diversity as it focuses on its primary content area. Additionally, to build the behavioral competencies central to leadership, the courses in this major will employ a variety of engaging and interactive activities including case studies, role plays, simulations, group projects and presentations and class discussions. In the Ignition tradition, students will also learn to carefully reflect on these experiences.

Finally, it is our view that students’ growth as leaders does not begin, nor does it end at Le Moyne College; the seeds were planted long ago and their maturity will occur decades after college. Our transitional role is to create a context where students can safely acquire the requisite theory, values, skills and sense of self that will sustain their specific leadership journeys.
