Subject Aim:
Responsible Leadership is a subject focusing on decision-making that takes into consideration the interests of diverse stakeholders, including employees, customers, and suppliers, while prioritising sustainability and socio-environmental concerns.
This subject evaluates the importance of leaders not only in achieving business outcomes but also in leading organisations towards a broader, ethical perspective that goes beyond profit goals. It requires the leader to have a high level of self-awareness and the ability to demonstrate behavioural flexibility in line with the needs of different followers and stakeholders.
Further, this subject explores the application of responsible leadership theoretical frameworks and principles in planning organisational change and fostering innovation. Students will explore a range of theories and practical tools, enabling them to scrutinise and refine their own leadership styles, understand team dynamics, and create a constructive work culture.
