Being led or (prospectively) taking on leadership responsibility plays a permanently broad role in everyday professional life. This course provides important knowledge and skills not only for students who want to major in Human Resources and Organisation.
The students know the most important leadership models and styles and can describe the leadership skills required for them. They know the central leadership tasks and possible dilemmas that derive from them.
They have understood the interaction between leader and led and understand leadership as social interaction. The students apply leadership instruments in different simulated situations and reflect on their effect. In doing so, they have become aware of their personal values and leadership principles and can bring these into the analysis of case studies.
The students design a leadership situation according to comprehensible and theoretically sound leadership guidelines and can justify them.
Interactive course with lecture, case studies, exercises in individual and group work, presentations and homework.
