Module Aims
To explore and understand the complexities of applying leadership theories in ‘real world’ healthcare settings.
Content Summary
Indicative content may include topics outlined below and/or any other relevant current topics to fulfil the module aims and learning outcomes: During the 6 weeks of this module, students will learn and understand why leaders are important and the difference between leadership and management as well as understanding the varying aspects of leadership theory (authentic, charismatic, collective, compassionate leader/follower etc.) Is leadership about the individual or the social relationships? What do followers potentially admire in a person taking on the role of leader? What is power and how does power affect the dynamics of leadership? A unique feature of this module will be to understand the value of ethics in organisations. It is expected that this aspect of this module will help leaders to be more ethical in their approaches within a healthcare setting, which is so important for the medical profession.
