2 MOL - Master of Organizational Leadership The Master of Organizational Leadership MOL program engages current and emerging leaders in learning and applying leadership theory utilizing a multidisciplinary approach that synthesizes knowledge from management science, social sciences, humanities, research science, communication arts, and Franciscan values. Franciscan values are a key part of the MOL program: As a community of learning, students work and learn together within their cohorts maintaining high standards of scholarship. Community of reverence recognizes that each MOL student brings unique gifts to the program, and that other students and faculty respect and nurture those gifts into more effective leadership behavior. As a community of service, MOL students are actively encouraged to seek out opportunities to give back to their communities while studying leadership principles. MOL students often design their capstone projects with non-profit and service organizations as a way to serve the greater N.W. Ohio community. The MOL program seeks to enhance in its students critical thinking, higherorder reasoning, and ethical virtue as leaders. Consistent with these goals, leadership science is emphasized rather than the exhortations about leadership so often found in the popular press. Principles of leadership, scientifically developed, are the starting point for leadership studies. Their application to real-world leadership challenges forms the core of academic work in the program. If your goals include performing better, going further, and making a positive difference in your organization and community, then the pursuit of a Master of Organizational Leadership degree is the perfect choice! Leadership is not a magnetic personality - that can just as well be demagoguery. It is not making friends and influencing people - that is salesmanship. Leadership is the lifting of a person s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person s performance to a higher standard, the building of a person s personality beyond its normal limitations.
