GSN409 Understanding and Leading Others

One of the greatest challenges for organisational leaders is how to harness the collective talents within a team to create high performing individuals capable of achieving the goals of the organisation and thriving in the workforce. This unit aim to develop theoretical and applied knowledge of human behaviour at work how to develop and lead face-to-face and virtual high performing teams. It is critical that leaders are able to not only be aware of the factors that influence the thoughts, feelings, motivations and actions of individuals in the workplace, but also to have the tools to actively build capability, motivation and attitude in others. Leadership coaching is a key method taught in this unit to achieve these objectives.This unit is offered at the mid point of the program to build upon the earlier work on self-awareness completed in GSN497 Personal Leadership - and Change, and lay the foundations covered in GSN415 - Leadership and Complexity.
