Overview
This unit invites you to consider the leadership dimensions of your work in leading change among people and within organisations, across a range of contexts within schools, workplaces and in communities. Concepts of leadership and management will be examined for their distinctiveness and limitations. A number of models of leadership will be introduced which highlight personal attributes and approaches to leadership practice, and consider how leadership may be understood from an organisational perspective, including distributed views of organisational leadership and cognition, and emerging conceptions of leadership practice in the context of complexity and sustainability. You will also gain an appreciation of leadership development, identities, ethics and values, and emotions.
