You will be assessed by an individual essay on a given topic from term one (worth 50% of module marks) and an exam (worth 50% of module marks) based on topics studied throughout the year.

Leadership: Process and Organisations

The module examines leadership theory and approaches with an understanding of the challenges involved in leading and renewing organisations in today’s increasingly complex and dynamic global environment. You will be introduced to models, theories and research in leadership, organisations and decision-making. Techniques for analysing organisation’s intra-relationships will be developed over the course of the programme of study. There are opportunities to develop your own group and individual leadership and followership skills.
