Management and leadership are critical challenges for any organisation. The contemporary environment of business demands that managers are effective leaders also. This unit examines the contemporary nature of management, and then examines organisational leadership in detail. The emerging operationalisation of the 'new leadership' is a particular concentration of this unit. Students will examine the concept of leadership as well as its manifestation in organisations. This unit has a practical focus. Management and Leadership is a valuable elective unit, as well as being a key component of the Strategic HRM major. Students should have had at least 3 years full-time work experience before they attempt this unit.
