BMGT45040 Leadership Development Skills

Academic Year 2018/2019

The focus of this module is how to lead and collaborate with people and how to manage people related issues in an international context. It is a multidisciplinary subject drawing heavily from psychology, sociology, anthropology, engineering, political science and organisation theory.. To fully understand why people think and act as they do in organisational settings we must know something about them as individuals, something about the groups and teams to which they belong, something about the organisation arrangements and processes they are exposed to and about the interaction of all these factors. In this regard, participants are encouraged to explore the interconnected nature of the various topics to be covered and to develop a holistic and critical understanding of the subject.
