Overview

This Developing leadership  module from The Open University UK  offers you the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge leadership ideas in tandem with developing as a practitioner. 

You'll cover topics such as identity, person-based leadership, collective leadership, ethical leadership and aesthetic views of leadership. You’ll also learn how to be a more discerning and critically engaged consumer of leadership ideas, in the workplace and more generally in society. 

What's included

You’ll be provided with six printed module books, each covering one block of study. You’ll also have access to a module website, which includes:

  • a week-by-week study planner
  • module materials
  • audio and video content
  • assessment guide
  • online tutorials and forums.

Programme Structure

In more detail, you'll cover the following aspects of leadership.
  • Leadership as person: these are approaches that assume that leadership resides in individual leaders. 
  • Collective leadership: these approaches assume that leadership is a practice conducted between people working together collectively in a group to offer direction.
  • Identity and power: you'll learn how leadership has become a desirable identity and how some people are (unfairly) deemed more suitable for leadership than others. You'll also learn how identities in groups can be refashioned to create leadership with more possibility.
  • Leadership ethics: you'll learn about perspectives that try to understand what it means to be an ethical leader and also perspectives that help you understand ethical practices of leadership.
  • Leadership aesthetics: you'll learn how leadership can adopt an aesthetic quality that moves people.
