Leadership
in a
Changing World
This course is designed to help you become a more effective leader in a complex and rapidly changing world. Effective leadership— developed over time through practice, feedback, and self-reflection—is crucial for organizational success. While engaging in effective leadership practices can be rewarding, it is also a significant challenge for most people.
This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to improve your leadership capabilities and confidence based on evidence-based practices and leadership theories. Through interactive sessions, we will explore various aspects of effective leadership, assess where you stand in your leadership development journey, and hone your leadership skills.
By the end of the course, you should be able to recognize the importance of interpersonal relationship skills and abilities in effective leadership, discuss key leadership principles and practices in organizational settings with peers, colleagues, supervisors, and mentors, identify your own leadership strengths and areas for development, propose evidence-based solutions to real-world leadership problems, and develop a leadership philosophy based on your personal values and evidence-based strategies.
