Organisations face many adaptive challenges to survive and thrive in a complex and uncertain environment, driven by forces such as globalization and technology. This subject helps students become leaders rather than managers. Leadership is particularly important in organisation structures that are flat, flexible, diverse, and global. This subject establishes the capability to lead and influence diverse individuals and teams through intrapersonal (i.e., self-awareness and self-management) and interpersonal (i.e., communication, social awareness and social skill) development.
