MGT599 Leadership Theory and Practice (16)
Abstract
This subject introduces students to the key issues, concerns and theories of leadership, and supports students to build a theoretical framework in the context of, and for, the practice of their own leadership. The subject will guide students in their study of leadership by encouraging self-analysis and a critical engagement with theories of leadership. The subject will explore a diversity of theories, using them as a ‘lens’ to view leadership. Students will be encouraged to engage with leadership theories, applying them to their own practice and/or experience of leadership. |
