Course content and structure

In this course, the concept of leadership will be explored from a variety of perspective. Rather than proposing a single understanding of leadership, we will orient ourself in, and apply a wide range of approaches, on a theoretical as well as a practical level. The course is designed to develop your leadership capacities by engaging with practical challenges, but also to widen your understanding of the phenomenon of leadership on a theoretical level, facilitating navigation in a constant stream of leadership fads.
