Developing the Real Estate Professional: Part II
This elective course focuses on the skills necessary to lead teams and organizations both within the commercial real estate industry and beyond. Throughout the semester, students explore universal principles of effective leadership ¿ how leaders motivate, empower, and integrate individuals towards a common goal. At the same time, a critical focus of the course is developing key soft skills necessary for enduring executive careers in commercial real estate. Focus is spent on communications, management, negotiations and decision-making, and students have the opportunity to hone their skills through class activities, presentations, written assignments, simulations, and group work. This course is intended to build upon and complement the lessons and tools of "Developing The Real Estate Professional: Part I", such as self-awareness, authentic leadership, and networking, and is designed to be taken following that half-semester course.
