Course Description
This course examines recent research to uncover the practical actions anyone
can take to be a successful leader.
Leadership; Identity, Influence and Power, examine the recent research in
social psychology and business to provide you with the practical guidelines
and actions that will help you develop and sustain your leadership.
To understand why leadership is so popular a topic we begin with a close
examination of the “Romance of Leadership” – the myths of leadership and the
tendency to misattribute organisational outcomes to great leadership. We’ll
also look at the history and underpinnings of much leadership theorising to
understand the ideas of power, authority and charisma.
In later modules we explore the dominant leadership theories and the need for
a new approach to leadership. Under this new psychology of leadership – also
known as the Social Identity theory of Leadership - we uncover 4 rules for
leadership...

known as the Social Identity theory of Leadership - we uncover 4 rules for
leadership built upon an understanding of group psychological processes rather
than the individual psychology of leaders.
We conclude with the key skills and practices of leadership – skills and
practices that you can learn and perfect. To help you with this, you will work
on your own leadership development plan.

This course has been interesting, It would be nice of it to have a bigger
aproach on how to use leader skills, but its a nice view of how leaders act
and a bit of history too.
