SUBJECT RATIONALE 

 

In today’s complex and everchanging business environment, we hear demands for better, stronger business leadership that is effective in terms of financial results and also responsibility and increasingly sustainability. Leadership is believed to make a direct contribution to corporate results but leaders, corporate and political, are less trusted and  accepted by their constituents. There is much less stability and confidence in our institutional leadership- a growing gap of acceptance that is fuelled by increased gaps in executive remuneration compared to non-managerial staff. .

There is no shortage of stories and popular theories about leadership: “Charismatic Leadership”, “Transformational Leadership” and “Heroic Leadership”.  Successful leaders are celebrated and books published advancing their “theories”. 

In this subject we address much more than the popular press stories about leadership. We systematically review theories of leadership looking for evidence. We argue for a situational or contingency perspective that concludes that effective leadership assumes an awareness and understanding of the immediate situation including a deep awareness of followers and acute self insight as well.

From such a sound foundation of leadership theory based on research, it is hoped that students will critically view the popular press theories of “Charismatic Leadership”, “Transformational Leadership” and “Heroic Leadership” appreciating their strengths and weaknesses.

The subject also gives students the opportunity to experience leadership development at a personal level through several role playing, team-building and self-assessment activities.
