Introduction

The role of leaders and the function of leadership has been the focus of scrutiny for many years. It could be argued that this scrutiny has been amplified in recent times due the recent crises associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many of the challenges faced by leaders were already in need of resolution. As part of a suite of units examining leadership and the central function of organisational capability development the central premise of this unit rests heavily on the role of positional power and structures that support leadership as a position in organisations. This includes an examination of strategy development, organisational structure, leadership behaviour and the utilisation of legitimate power. The unit encourages you to think more expansively about the emerging community demands of leaders in terms of ethics, behaviour and corporate citizenship. You’ll also be asked to reflect on your own capacities and behaviours as a leader.
