Wellbeing Leadership examines leadership in the context of a growing desire for wellbeing cultures (in organisations, in community, in sport, in groups), and need for leadership to navigate and organise change with wellbeing in mind.
Key critiques and debates in the field of positive and wellbeing leadership will be examined, drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives, with consideration around implications for applications of the science. With an eye towards the future, students will also be introduced to innovations in the field (e.g., contemporary leadership approaches anchored to wellbeing science such as positive leadership, authentic leadership, appreciative leadership, and compassionate leadership) by leading practitioners and scholars, with collective consideration of implications for research and practice.
Students will learn how good wellbeing leaders put the science of wellbeing to practice, how different leadership models impact organisational wellbeing and culture, and criticisms of, and advances in, interdisciplinary wellbeing-related research relevant to leadership.
