This subject aims to explore the effects of destructive leadership in organisations and groups and the behaviour of organisational / group leaders. This subject explores psychological, psychoanalytical and systemic approaches to assist in identifying, understanding and coping with toxic leadership styles and behaviours. The subject will also explore the interesting tension between the perception of dysfunctional leadership in organisations and groups where others may perceive the leaders as heroic or transformational. The subject will pose a range of difficult behaviours such as neglect of duty, abuse of power and unacceptable behaviours such as bullying. Students will work to develop practical strategies to identify and handle dysfunction in organisations and groups.
