Leadership Starts from Within
About this subject
Upon completion of this subject, the student should be able to:
- Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of adult learning principles.
- Critically reflect on learning from the Leadership Starts from Within program and relevant literature.
- Articulate a critically defensible personal leadership approach and how that will inform own practice.
- Demonstrate the ability to plan, develop, implement, analyse and reflect upon a workplace leadership project.
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate in written and oral forms in a scholarly and appropriate manner.
- Refer to MyLO for study topics.
The aim of this subject is for leaders to examine the complexity of leadership in a period of rapid and disruptive change, and to develop their self-understanding of personal leadership behaviours. The subject analyses the nexus between management and leadership in the workplace and how an evidenced-based knowledge of self can contribute to building leadership capacity. A 360 degree Feedback Leadership Profile contributes to the examination of personal leadership and provides a pathway for exploring leadership growth through an action research project undertaken in the workplace. The subject is relevant to leaders who are committed to supporting on-going learning for themselves, their professional colleagues and their organisations.
