About this Unit
This unit focuses on leadership in human service organisations and the social and economic factors that influence and frame practice. Students in the unit will briefly review the contemporary political economic circumstances underpinning human services and the ongoing changes to policy and practice. The unit will examine the idea of what leadership is and present major leadership theories relevant to the human services. The content will address contexts of leadership including setting organisational culture, situational leadership in relation to practice and people, management and governance and leading through change. The unit will also examine trust, ethics and fairness in leadership and leadership in difficult circumstances. The emphasis of the unit will be to equip students with the means to describe, question and reshape leadership practice.
