You cannot lead if you do not understand yourself or the impact that you have on others.
In this module you will investigate the underlying theories which underpin the popular views about leadership and explore why understanding your own leadership style, competency and behaviour is the key to encouraging followership.
This module will focus on five main themes:
The Different Dimensions of Leadership
Leadership and Culture
The Supportive Leader
Leadership in Practice
Understanding Leadership
The global nature of the University of Aberdeen MBA will enable you to gain a greater understanding of your own leadership behaviours and capabilities in the context of your geographical culture and professional context.
You will carry out an insights analysis of your personality and leadership type before working to complete an online leadership simulation that requires you 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 are made depending on situation, context and past experience.
