MGT367 Leadership Issues (8)

CSU Discipline Area: Management (MANAG)

Duration: One session

Abstract:

We can all lead in different situations: it is not just the responsibility of people in official 'leader' positions. This subject will prepare students for leadership roles by focusing on this broad perspective. Leadership will be examined within a context of constant change. Specific issues identified as central to effective leadership including a diverse and equitable workplace, leading and managing change, ethical practices and organisational learning will be addressed. Leadership capabilities and how these can be developed will be presented accompanied by case studies. Students will be expected to develop and justify their own position on leadership through synthesis and critical reflection.
