Leadership Institutional Learning Outcome Statement Graduates of the University of Maryland, Baltimore will use critical thinking skills guided by evidence to be empathetic, inclusive, adaptable, and courageous leaders in their profession.
Leadership Definition Leadership is a process in which individuals are influenced to behave in a certain way, usually toward a common goal or understanding. Leadership sets the direction and tone for organizations and can serve to motivate, create change, and challenge embedded practices that have historically impacted marginalized groups. Leadership requires students to evaluate their own values, biases, privileges, strengths, and weaknesses, therefore gaining a greater understanding of their role and responsibility in influencing organizational and systemic change. As a philosophy, leadership challenges students to apply critical thinking skills to an ever-changing environment, allowing them to see a greater connection between their profession and the University's mission of improving the human condition and serving the public good.
