<p>The course is built around three primary themes: enhancing individual leadership skills; developing communication and motivational skills; and supporting individual and organisational dynamics in an environment of continuous change. It provides opportunities for students to develop greater leadership and managerial self-awareness and self-development. They are encouraged to explore emerging leadership and managerial trends and challenge conventional thinking. This enables students to think differently about the current and/or future role of leaders and managers within current business, public sector and non-profit sector organisational environments. The interactive workshops emphasise selfdevelopment, experiential learning and student centered reflective processes. The workshop results are then scrutinized for their ability to be successfully utilised in contemporary organisations.</p>
