Leadership, Strategy, and Engagement PEM501
Introduction
In this unit, higher level workplace managers/supervisors will develop interpersonal skills focused on strategic leadership and engagement because they are now empowered to ensure an inclusive, ethical internal working climate, and to engage with colleagues as ethical, diverse-thinking leaders. Students will also develop interpersonal skills through external engagement with diverse community stakeholders to develop future-focused strategies addressing complex problems in challenging social, cultural, and economic environments. They will apply critical thinking and analysis skills to ensure they are leaders exercising effective strategic decision making to influence policy around complex problems. This is because leaders are now expected to learn from diverse community stakeholders (including government, not-for-profit, and community representatives, and vulnerable people) to inform their direction. These interpersonal skills are deepened through development of intrapersonal reflective practice skills where they build knowledge of leadership theories to consolidate the type of ethical leader they are now and in future.
