Анотация:
Organisations are operating in a complex environment of constant change. The external demands placed upon them to change and improve are considerable. The key elements of leadership, vision and mission and their relationships to the development of a unique organisational culture are essential ingredients for organisational effectiveness, excellence and continuous improvement. This course focuses upon the better understanding of the nature of leadership. Leadership styles and behaviour are analysed with the help of both classic and modern theories on leadership and culture. The interplay between leadership and culture is studied as well in relation with organisational change.
The course aims at:
• To apply specific theoretical approaches used to understand effective leadership
• To gain experience with a leadership assessment and development tools.
• To apply the acquired knowledge of leadership in specific situations.
