Course Objective

This course explores various leadership models from both a theoretical and practical perspective with two main objectives. First, the course aims to provide students with an understanding of the major leadership theories. Students are expected to understand the theoretical basis of each leadership model, their strengths and weaknesses, and the application of each model to practice in organizations. To enable this, students will have the opportunity to work on case studies that pertain to various leadership models that will be studied throughout the course. Second, this course also aims to enable students to assess and work on their personal leadership styles through a series of leadership questionnaires and classroom activities. Ultimately, having taken this course, students will have developed a comprehensive understanding of leadership concepts and their applications to help develop their own leadership.
