MGT559 Contemporary Issues in Leadership (8)
Abstract
This subject explores the relevance of leadership theory to students’ experience of real world issues. An investigation of the ethical dimensions of leadership in relation to the well being of organisations and the broader society provides a basis for discussions in this subject. Students will focus on leadership under pressure, in times of crisis, and in response to global issues and trends. Ethical dilemmas in leadership will also be examined. Students will be required to track and explore the dynamic nature and emerging complexity of contemporary issues and how leadership is mobilised in the face of them.
This subject will also include case studies featuring contemporary issues in leadership. Students will be required to develop and/or investigate enriched case studies of contemporary issues that allow them to apply leadership theories and explore leadership in ‘real’ situations. |
