About the course
Whether you are stepping into your first leadership role or aiming for top management, leadership fundamentally involves creating and driving development. This course is ideal for formal leaders, project managers, functional leaders, and others engaged in driving and creating development.
The course views leadership as a contextual and relational phenomenon, focusing on specific situations and interactions with other individuals in the organisation. The perspectives presented in the course are applied to focus on leadership in practice rather than on the leader as a person. Additionally, various leadership theories are presented, exploring leadership forms that can mobilise energy for development rather than merely maintaining the existing system. The course provides you with the necessary tools to navigate and lead effectively in a complex and dynamic organisational context.
