This module shows how leaders develop, facilitate and manage the achievement of the mission and vision via a clear stakeholder focused strategy, supported by relevant policies, objectives, targets and plans implemented through appropriate actions and behaviours that conform to developed values required for long term success, thereby ensuring that the organization’s management system is developed and implemented.
Students will learn about leadership and develop their leadership skills by working in teams carrying out mini-projects and taking part in simulations. The intention is that students learn by doing; learning unconsciously by working with colleagues in teams, learning through reviewing what worked and what did not work, developing their skills through practice in a safe learning environment.
