Fundamentals of Leadership & Entrepreneurship Our Fundamentals of Leadership & Entrepreneurship (FLE) course is a two-week immersion into the nuts and bolts of the business world by challenging the students to create a viable business. Kampers will be taught the fundamentals of leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, operations, and organizational behavior, while coming to understand the integrated role these functions play in every successful endeavor. Leadership will be taught from the perspective of servant leadership. Additionally, they will be separated into teams and will generate their own business ideas. The Kampers will submit these ideas in the form of business plans and prototypes.
