Course Content

Strategic leadership is the practice of adding value to an organization by influencing, inspiring and coordinating activity in a way that enhances long-term prospects while meeting short-term requirements. Rather than being an individual activity, leadership is co-construed within social groups at various levels of the organization. Set against the backdrop of leadership theory, students learn about their own leadership style, further developing it as they work through various common leadership challenges as part of an applied leadership task.

Intended Learning Outcomes and Competencies

The primary objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the basic principles of leadership and help build their leadership repertoire. The theories and practices taught in this course are applicable in a wide array of positions in all types of organizations students may enter. The principal aims of the course are:

· to provide students with a broad and critical understanding of the key issues and concepts in leadership.

· to stimulate both appreciation and consideration of current leadership theory and research.

· to allow students to reflect on their own experience, extrapolate and develop better leadership skills.

to prepare students for future roles in which they need to work with individuals and groups in organizations.
