Strategic Leadership Communication

This course builds knowledge and skills in the theory and practice of strategic leadership communication. With a focus on internal strategic communication issues such as change management, workplace polarization, and lack of employee voice, students learn to analyse and foster authentic, collaborative forms of leadership communication. The course compares research on leadership communication with selected leadership theories and applies them to case studies. It also provides opportunities to develop and practice practical leadership skills that foster collaboration, widen participation, and create a culture of care in internal communication contexts. Students use their theoretical toolkit to evaluate how collaborative methods shape communication dynamics and to reflect on their own development as leaders.
