About the course
The course introduces well-established concepts and theories regarding leadership in organisations. Drawing on contemporary theory, analysis is conducted to understand leadership implications of the grand challenges that organisations and society encounter. In a globally integrated world, leaders face contradictory and incompatible expectations, both externally and internally, which together with increased situational complexity make leadership more difficult. Increasingly, individual leadership is also questioned in favour of alternative leadership solutions.
For exchange students: As this course is part of a Master's track, it cannot be taken on its own but must be taken with other course/s in the same track during the same semester.
