Effective Leadership Determinants Abstract & Subject Outline of the Course

This course seeks to address the issue as to what makes effective leadership and how leadership skills can be enhanced. Leaders create a vision of the future and position the organisation to move forward towards this new future. On this journey the leader uses a range of tools to guide the process. This module addresses how leadership influences organisational success, creating and inspiring the future vision of the sustainable organisation. It reflects on the development of leadership theory and evaluates the tools employed by leaders in problem solving and organisational transformation.

Taking a specifically skills based perspective and using case studies of leaders in action students will analyse the effectiveness of leaders in different contexts, reflect on their own leadership skills and consider how these might be enhanced. This module mainly focuses on review of the main strands in leadership theory and emerging trends. In addition, the evaluation of significant societal variables on leadership such as gender, culture, ethics, and globalization will be covered besides the role of the leader in promoting organisational change. When studying this module you will cover a range of topics relating to the subject of leadership.
