Leadership effectiveness requires competencies that are underpinned by leadership theories and frameworks. The primary aim of this course is to provide a forum to understand and discuss leadership theory and apply this understanding to develop greater effectiveness as a leader in practice in areas such as self management, communication and teamwork skills. A secondary aim is to develop students' critical thinking (diagnostic) skills and interpersonal skills as they examine leadership actions through selected case studies.

Upon successful completion of the requirements for this course, students will be able to:

1. define, explain, illustrate and critique the major theories of leadership;
2. apply these theories to real-world scenarios;
3. explain and illustrate the capabilities required of successful leaders; and,
4. through reflection evaluate personal leadership capability, to enhance self-awareness of leadership strengths and areas where improvement is required.
