DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
This course is about understanding why and how leaders influence change. The focus of the unit
is increasing the effectiveness of leadership and change management skills at individual and
organizational levels. Leadership and change management are increasingly seen to be key factors
affecting the performance of contemporary organizations and are important areas of study in the
fields of management and organizational behavior. Effective leadership and change management
are important to professional practices, multinational organizations, the public sector, and not-
for-profit organizations.
Leadership is what makes things happen. This unit explores conventional and critical
perspectives on leadership and examines the practice of leadership in diverse organizational
contexts. Effective leadership requires a thorough knowledge of theory and a range of practical
skills to support people in achieving organizational objectives. The unit also covers the personal
aspects of leadership, including leaders as relationship builders and organizational shapers.
Change is said to be the only constant in 21st -century organizations. Effective change
management requires strong diagnosis skills linked to the history, context, challenges, and
opportunities faced by an organization. This course will integrate theoretical and practical
aspects of change management to enhance capabilities in the design, development, and
implementation of change management strategies. It will examine theoretical aspects from both
traditional and critical perspectives.
