Leadership Foundations (LEAD) (N1535)

15 credits, Level 5

Autumn teaching

Examine what makes someone an effective leader - looking at their personal characteristics, behaviour and the situation the individual is facing.

You look at why a particular leadership style has a different effect on followers - for example, how a manager's leadership style can have an effect on employee work performance.

You look at: 

  • readings
  • case studies
  • experiential exercises. 

You examine your own leadership skills and develop a plan for improving your strengths and overcoming your limitations.
