Course Outline
The primary aim of the Work and Organisational Leadership programme is to enhance students’ leadership capability through a programme that is specifically applied to the context of their own organisation. The programme aims to combine academic, professional and personal development through a fascinating exploration of key organisational behaviour principles and concepts which will empower students to enhance both their own performance and that of their organisation. Students will also be upskilled in a range of key areas such as problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence so that they are better equipped to perform their leadership role effectively in a dynamic organisational setting where flexibility, agility, reflexivity and resilience are required.
