Managers work with and through others in a variety of organisational structures, each with a set of internal contextual factors. In this unit you will critically examine the role of individuals, groups and managers in the performance outcomes of organisations in a dynamic environment. You will examine the context of organisations as structural frames and the different cultures, political networks and human resource processes that emerge and how these affect the management of people. The unit addresses specific aspects of the emotional intelligence model that will allow you to identify the key competencies required of managers to effectively work with and through others. Using reflective practice as the basis for personal development, you will be required to examine, develop and acquire the conceptual knowledge, behavioural skills and attitudinal components specific to the managing others competencies including: social awareness, teamwork, conflict, empathy and change catalyst.
