Adapt your leadership style

Adapt your leadership style Certificate

MACQUARIE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT – Adapt your leadership style  

About this course

Why are organizational behavior disorders like cynicism, apathy, bullying, and disconnection increasingly common in the workplace? This course explores these contradictions and how authentic, inclusive, transformational leadership styles offer an alternative to the more authoritarian, work-oriented, and controlling leadership styles of the past. You will learn how the digital revolution, along with a greater emphasis on projects and teamwork, has dramatically changed the perception of leadership in such a way that now all members of the organization must assume some form of self-government. And you’ll learn how this shift is creating tensions between traditional leaders and modern methods, vital to staying flexible in today’s ultra-competitive market. This training will be complemented with structured exercises such as video lectures, questionnaires, discussion guides, and written evaluations.
