Module Background and AimThe future prosperity of advanced economies depends on the ability of their organisations to fully understand what makes leaders and managers effective and how they might try to develop leadership and management skills and talents. Hence, in this moduleissues relevant to the changing nature of management and leadership skills requirement in an era of discontinuous change are examined.
The aim of the module is to provide an understanding of the major contemporary issues in connection with leadership and change management. Additionally, the module aims to provide students with insight into their leadership style and the approaches they may use to manage and lead change and ultimately become more skilled leaders. Students will be given the opportunity to understand how they can become better leaders and develop skills to allow them to lead themselves and others towards successful outcomes. Up-to-date research ideas regarding the new directions that are emerging in the field will also be examined and students will be encouraged to consider the meaning of these ideas in a range of organisations from various sectors.
The module integrates theory and practice by drawing on relevant theory and connecting it with leaders and managers in a range of case study organisations. In addition students will be asked to draw on their two years of experience in this programme and critically reflect upon the different types of leaders and managers they have encountered and also think about just what kind of leader they are and want to be in the future. As can be seen in the assessment schedule below, you will be expected to apply their knowledge of leadership skills to real life scenarios and case study organisations.
General Course Requirements and AdministrationThis module will examine a range of theoretical and practical issues related to leadership and management, with particular emphasis on people management issues. The fact that this module is designed for students who are committed to developing their management and leadership skills means that the practical application of the various theoretical models discussed will be emphasised. Hence during the formal teaching sessions scheduled, reflective workshops will allow the group to view videos, analyse case studies and consider issues in small group scenarios.
To fully benefit from these experiences, attendance at these sessions and active participation in the activities is essential. As well as the face to face sessions students will be required to make use of the online aspect of the programme, with the University`s Blackboard system the mode of delivery. All the face to face sessions will involve lectures, case discussions, and exercises. These sessions are designed to build upon what the students have learnt throughout the programme and to further explore the range of management and leadership concepts.
