Leadership and Management

About This Course

This is an advanced leadership course that will help you understand better ‘what leadership is’ through learning about theories and leadership practice in organizations and apply the learning in case discussions. More importantly, I hope that you can learn more about yourself and your leadership potential through self-assessment and self-evaluation exercises. Nevertheless, through action learning, you can learn how to ‘take the lead’ in ‘completing goals’ for real organizations. All in all, I hope that you can enjoy this learning journey in understanding how leadership is important for both personal and organizational growth.
