36 DMC - LEADERSHIP IN CHAPLAINCY CONCENTRATION DMC-801 Organizational Leadership: Effective Chaplains Lead from Where They Are Chaplains serve as servant leaders within secular institutions. This seminar focuses on understanding the institutional organization as a human system and the means by which the chaplain can leverage moral power and limited institutional authority to provide effective servant leadership from within the "chain of command." By means of the readings, assignments, class discussion, lectures and chaplain consultants, students analyze their organization's structure and design a strategy to improve their effectiveness as a staff member within that organization. Required for Chaplaincy concentration. Three Hours. DMC-802 Prevention: The Stabilizing Influence of Chaplaincy Chaplains work within both internal and external organizational systems. Because systems break down when people break down, chaplains work with the human side of systems to bring stability that enables the systems to accomplish their purpose. This seminar focuses on how the chaplain, as a stabilizing influence, can effectively care for people in the secular organization when the organization breaks down. Through readings, assignments, class discussions, lectures and chaplain instructors, students will develop strategies and plans to implement in their organizations during current or future organizational breakdowns. Required for Chaplaincy concentration. Three Hours. DMC-803 Restoration: Chaplaincy in the Time of Crisis This seminar focuses on how the chaplain, as a crisis interventionist, can effectively care for people in disasters or crises when people and systems are in chaos. By means of the readings, assignments, class discussions, lectures and chaplain instructors, students will develop strategies and plans to improve their ministry organization's ability to respond with effective caring interventions in a strategic manner throughout the life cycle of a disaster or crisis.
