COURSE OVERVIEW:
As a concept leadership has been around for thousands of years. In contrast, management science, driven by the phenomenon of large organisations and the need to bring order and consistency to their functioning, only emerged during the 20th century.
Leadership is different from management, but not for the reasons most people think. Leadership isn’t mystical and mysterious. It is not necessarily to do with being exceptionally brilliant or charismatic. It is not the province of a chosen few. Nor is leadership better than management or a replacement for it. Without good management, complex enterprises tend to become chaotic in ways that threaten their very existence.
Therefore, management is about coping with complexity. It brings a degree of order and consistency to technical dimensions like the quality and profitability of products. Leadership, by contrast, is about relationships. It is about being able to influence people to behave in a desired manner and is fundamental to change. Both are necessary for success. The most successful firms will combine strong leadership with effective management and will seek to develop the potential of their people in both areas.
In this course you will explore the essentials of leadership and management, the relationship between management and leadership. Then we explain how leaders are developed and the models of leadership. Also explain the skills of influence on relationships, the emotionally intelligent leadership and the different behavioural styles and beliefs of leaders.
After completing this course you will be able to: use contemporary concepts and theories to analyse your approach to management and leadership and to identify areas for development. In addition, improve your influencing skills and the level of influence you hold with organisational stakeholders.
