Additional information

Unit content:

This unit approaches leadership from a different perspective. MBS663 locates leadership within the strategy process and distinguishes leadership from management. Traditional theories of leadership (Great Person, trait, contingency etc) are introduced but are not focussed upon. Instead we delve deeply into leadership as a capability that an engaged enterprise needs to develop. It relies heavily on the Sloan Distributed Leadership Model and draws on Ronald Heifetz’s work on Adaptive Leadership. This unit proposes that leadership arises when facing adaptive challenges. Along the way, you will be exposed to a variety of activities to facilitate the development of self-awareness. This self-awareness is an important prerequisite to developing capabilities within the individual or within the organisation so as to build the engaged enterprise. The nature of employee engagement is examined and its importance in how leaders manage and lead when confronted with paradoxical challenges.
