Description

This course goes beyond the analysis of leadership theories, and aims at developing the student鈥檚 leadership skills. This is a hands-on course where students learn about specific frameworks, models, and perspectives on effectively leading small, medium and large groups of employees in public, private and non-profit organizations. Students begin by covering introductory theories to leadership and then move into discovering which type of leaders they are. In particular, students face practical cases to learn how to implement different leadership approaches according to the strategic aim that they pursue, and how to lead within the different levels of the organization's hierarchy. Furthermore, we focus on how to enhance the motivation of employees, and the effects that this can have on the organizational performance. By course end, students ought to have a broad comprehension and tools for leading organizations and groups of individuals successfully.
