Managing Self Development - Leadership Development
Effective leadership is increasingly seen as crucial to the success of an organisation. The module focuses on leadership and developing leadership behaviours. It looks at leadership in its widest sense so it is relevant to all managers, whether or not you are currently leading a team. It considers leadership in a global context, recognising that leading others needs to take account of cultural differences.
The module will involve developing insights into your current leadership capabilities and how you are perceived by others. As a result of completing Leadership Development, you will be aware of your leadership strengths and areas for development. You should understand how to manage your own development so that you can achieve changes in your leadership behaviour relevant to your career and life goals, and to the contexts in which you will be operating.
Areas covered during the module include the importance and nature of leadership; behaviours of effective leaders; personality, culture and other influences on behaviour; different leadership styles; effective communication skills; empowering and motivating; communicating visions; leading teams; influencing and handling conflict; leading and facilitating change; coaching and developing others; life and career development; managing your development and producing personal development plans.
