6HR510 Developing Leadership and Management

You are required to write and submit a 3,500 word report demonstrating your understanding of contemporary leadership and management.  The report is divided into three sections, which reflect the learning outcomes of the module, each section is highlighted below:

Section 1:  

Critically evaluate the contemporary definitions of leadership and management, consider current perspectives of the roles and responsibilities of both leaders and managers generally.

Section 2:

Fortune recently published their ‘2019 Greatest Leaders List’, the top ten of which you can find below.  Using examples of three leaders from this list assess and critically compare what makes these leaders distinctly successful.  Make use of different theoretical approaches to leadership and management to underpin this discussion.

Section 3:

Based on your evaluation (task 1) and critical comparison of three key contemporary leaders (task 2) analyse the critical skills and behaviours of a successful leader.  Then consider specific methods of leadership and management development that would develop at least two of these areas, proposing how to implement and evaluate these interventions effectively.

All assignments should be submitted via the Turnitin submission point (found within the ‘Assessment’ tab) by the deadline highlighted above.  All assignments will be marked against a marking rubric, a copy of which is attached to appendix 1 of the module handbook.  

On successful submission of the assignment, you will be demonstrating your individual achievement of the Module Learning Outcomes:

1.Critically evaluate the definition, roles and responsibilities of Leadership and Management in modern contexts

2.Assess alternative theoretical approaches to leadership and management and their relevance within contemporary organisations.

3.Discuss different methods of leadership and management development and how to implement and evaluate interventions effectively
