Took in Spring 2026 with Ozzie, and it was a genuinely wonderful journey. You have to be in class once a week, but there the after-class workload is very light.

The course deals with somewhat overlooked aspects of leadership. it goes in-depth into the meaning of leadership and the necessary traits of a leader. I think it provides a good mindset orientation that can be applied to a variety of contexts. The content of this course can be invaluable for those who take it seriously.

BE 600 is most helpful for people who are either shy or otherwise reserved, because you are going to be doing the exact opposite of what you're used to.
If you're an already out-going person then this course also helps you improve your leadership or reveal to you your short-comings.
It's a people course so expect to engage, empower, enable others and yourself. This wasn't a tough course in the traditional sense, but if you're looking an easy "A" course, this is not it either.Mar 2026 · liked itOn UW FlowRemove this
