GRN 5810 - Leadership in the Aging Network


The course examines the development of the aging network and the influence this development has had on what it means to be a leader in this environment and what leadership skills will be most effective. The complexities of managing service delivery in the aging network will be examined. This will include the who, what, when, where and why of different reporting requirements, for example the similarities and differences among nursing home regulations and hospice regulations; financial and funding features; and a survey of a variety of agency structures. Within this context, leadership and leadership styles will be considered. Knowledge, skills, and attitudes considered essential for successful service delivery will be studied. Motivation, conflict resolution, cultural and ethnic sensitivity and ethics will be discussed.

Credits: 3 hrs.

Notes: Open to Upperclass and Graduate Students. Admission to the Gerontology Certificate Program is suspended. Students currently enrolled may continue their studies until the time limit for completion expires.
