MANAGEMT 7123OL - Leadership and Influencing

Online - Online Teaching 3 - 2024

An essential skill of leadership in our time is the ability to work with people to tackle challenges and changes which are not only technical in nature but which require people (including ourselves) to change. It involves our intellectual and emotional understanding of others and ourselves. Identifying the nature of the challenge, and hence the kind of leadership behaviours which are likely to be effective is a first step. Knowing our own personal preferences is a prerequisite to developing additional alternative responses. In Leadership and Influencing, you will explore your evolving leadership story, your leadership philosophy and identify areas for ongoing development. Using current leadership and team development models you will diagnose the different kinds of challenges facing you, the capabilities of the people and teams with whom you are achieving outcomes and the context and culture in which you are working. We will consider the interaction of these elements both in stable and changing environments and the leadership behaviours and tools to move forward.

Assessment Detail

Assignment 1
O’Connell (2014) categorised current leadership theories broadly into three groups; those that focused on the relationship between the leader and group members (Relational or Distributed leadership theories); those that focused on the
qualities of the leader (Authentic leadership theories), and those which positioned leadership in the functioning of the organisation (Strategic or Complexity Leadership Theories).

Critically evaluate at least one theory from each category to assess its strengths and weaknesses in enabling leaders to address the major challenges facing organisations in ambiguous situations, e.g. complex and entrepreneurial organisations, Small—Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), regional organisations affected by climate or high-level technological change.

Student Feedback

The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Student feedback enables the improvement of the Course materials and delivery. Please contribute to this endeavour at the end of the COurse.
