02 leadership business wordsLeadership moves the world. That’s why it’s important, why we study it, and why we strive to be successful leaders in today’s winning organizations. Did you know that 37% of employees surveyed reported they had left a job mainly due to poor leadership? At its core, leadership is about human beings coming together to accomplish some desired outcome.

Start 2021 off on the right foot by pursuing a Leadership Studies degree at Fayetteville Technical Community College. Our Leadership Studies Program seeks students with the passion and dedication to join a new generation of organizational leaders who will confront challenges in an increasingly complex and constantly changing world. It guides and facilitates the processes that allow students a deep understanding and appreciation of the dynamics of leadership, the convergence of leadership with other people, and the role of the individual as a leader in groups, organizations and society.

In the program, students develop an understanding of leadership as a process and as a relationship among people that transcends the setting. Students gain a deep appreciation of the dynamics and responsibilities of leadership. In addition, the program prepares students for a successful career in leadership positions in a wide variety of career paths and professions to meet their professional and educational goals. For example, the program fosters crucial skills sought after by employers — innovation, teamwork, change management, adaptability, communication, critical thinking and analysis — hallmarks of leadership. These skills enable FTCC graduates to succeed in management or leadership roles in their organizations.

The program also prepares students for employment in a competitive marketplace or guides students to a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college. FTCC has numerous articulation agreements with four-year universities, allowing students to complete additional upper-level courses with the value of FTCC’s affordable tuition.

The program helps students understand leadership not only as a position but also as a process and a relationship among people, learn how to examine issues from varied perspectives, embrace differences and change, and seek innovative solutions to complicated problems. Courses challenge students to think critically, communicate effectively and anticipate change. Students can enter the program through the gateway course (LDR-110) Introduction to Leadership.

Without question, today’s workforce must be competitive, interactive and diverse to compete and succeed in a changing global economy. Leaders will be required to meet these global challenges with exceptional leadership skill sets needed to keep their companies successful and profitable in an ever-changing economic environment.
