More about this course
  • In this course, we look to answer the question: 'What is leadership?' In the first week we explore two fundamental perspectives on leadership: leader as a person and leadership as a practice
  • In the second week we examine the difference between leadership and management so you can determine whether you are a leader in a management role, a leader without a management role, or a manager who needs to become a leader.
  • By exploring sources of power and influence, and how perception shapes behaviour, you will be able to address important issues more effectively.
  • Paid certification course
