BU501D: LEADING STRATEGIC CHANGE (2018-2019)

Last modified: 22 May 2019 17:07


Course Overview

You cannot lead if you do not understand yourself or the impact you have on others.  This course will enable you to gain a greater understanding of your own leadership behaviours and capabilities in the context of geographical culture and professional context.  You will carry out an insight analysis of your personality and leadership type before working to complete a leadership simulation that requires you to plan and execute strategy with limited resources to overcome challenges.  You will then explore a range of leadership cases to see how and why different decisions depend on situation, context and past experience.
