| SCOPE | |||||||||
| PL350 (Advanced Military Leadership) is a multidisciplinary study of leadership within military organizations. Cadets gain a theoretical and pragmatic understanding of the behavioral and organizational sciences, which they apply to develop their own leadership skills, cultivate leadership abilities in others, and enhance the effectiveness of military organizations. The course surveys a carefully selected set of the most relevant and useful ideas, concepts, theories and knowledge from these sciences. A representative list of topics explored includes: leadership development, character and its development, power and influence, team dynamics, organizational change, and transformational leadership. In addition to applying knowledge of these topics, cadets develop a leadership portfolio which helps refine and inform their personal approach to leading. The portfolio includes several assignments that require personal reflection, critical thinking, and mentor engagement. PL350 is designed to maximize cadets' practical application of theory in their roles as leaders in the Corps of Cadets and as future Army officers. PL350 offers some advanced topics and experiential opportunities beyond that of PL300. Enrollment is limited to cadets recognized as having exceptional leadership potential within the Corps. | |||||||||

| PL350 (Advanced Military Leadership) is a multidisciplinary study of leadership in organizations. Cadets gain a pragmatic understanding of the behavioral, organizational, and sociological sciences, and apply that knowledge to become better leaders, develop better leaders, and make their organizations more effective.

A representative list of topics explored includes: leader and leadership development, character and its development, perceptions and biases, decision making, motivation, power and influence, multiple leadership theories, counseling, negotiations, team dynamics, cohesion and group development, conflict management, organizational justice, organizational culture, organizational change, socialization, and leadership in extremis.

PL350 is designed to maximize direct application for cadets in their roles as leaders in the Corps of Cadets and as future Army officers. | |||||||||
