About this Unit
Much of a manager's and leader's role involves application of knowledge and skills in a particular industry or organisational context. Effective management requires diverse capabilities in analysis, research, problem-solving, information literacy, negotiation as well as influencing and interactive communication. Students will critically reflect on current theory and practice in leadership and management using interactive experiential approaches. The effectiveness of each manager's capacities to learn from experience across varied careers and contexts will be enhanced. Each student will undertake a self-development project taking into account their development needs in a work or industry context of their choice.
