The course takes a holistic look at leadership. It begins with an exploration of the global context and it’s implications for leadership. It then examines the key tasks of leadership and the skills required to perform them. The course then moves beyond tasks and skills and looks at leadership as an issue of “soul.” Self-care, emotion, flow and spirituality are examined as leadership issues and Joseph Campbell’s “hero’s journey” is used as a guide to the integration of “soul” within the leadership process. The course also looks at the “dark side” of leadership, the forces that drive pathological leadership and the personal characteristics that provide an antidote to the pathological pressures of leadership.
By the end of the course, you should have:1. An understanding of the current global context and its implications for leadership.2. An understanding of the task and skill requirements of leadership.3. An understanding of the place of soul and its importance in leadership.4. An understanding of the role of self-care, emotion and “flow” in leadership.5.
