| Course content and
structure |
|
Many companies and experts approach leadership primarily as a
matter of individual competencies, and personal development. This
course complements such “leader-centered” approaches with a
“leadership-centered” perspective on the interpersonal,
collaborative, organizational, and professional dimensions of
leadership and talent development. This perspective highlights the
strategic importance of HRM practices for promoting strong
leadership cultures. Participants will enhance their readiness to
contribute to the performance of organizations large and small by
exploring key issues and challenges related to organizational
leadership, the organizational dynamics of authority and influence,
and the ways that effective talent management and HRM practices can
help develop and sustain strong leadership
cultures.
|
| Teaching methods |
| The course will focus primarily on
the analysis of cases chosen to help develop the ability of
participants to analyze and to intervene in social and
organizational dynamics of leadership in a variety of different
contexts. Classroom time will promote the analysis and discussion
of cases and theoretical readings as well as the perspectives and
experiences of class participants - high-energy discussion, debate,
and interaction. For this reason students are strongly encouraged
to bring their own views to the table and to share insights and
learning with the rest of the group. |
