Central in the Leadership course are integral leadership and knowing oneself this will be achieved by:
- making students familiar with theories and empirical research on leadership;
- introducing students to potential managerial problems which arise when being a leader within an Organisation;
- enabling students to handle the diagnosis and analysis of organisational events and problems which involve leadership issues, and to use this knowledge for the suggestion, comparison and evaluation of problem solutions;
- facilitating reflection on their own leadership experience..

This course on leadership aims to investigate the past and current research perspectives on leadership as well as address the personal skills a manager needs in order to lead others. Specific topics that are addressed include trait, behavioural and contingency theories of leadership, transformational and charismatic leadership, ethics and diversity and several skills of leadership.

The book provides you with a good overview of the leadership literature. It emphasizes the classic readings. However, it is a bit short in new developments in the leadership area. The pecha kucha assignment is meant to fill this gap.

Note: Next to the final paper, assigments during the course will be part of the grade.
