MGMT29012 - Managing and Leading in Organisations

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Organisations are social entities and as such require the coordination and alignment of activities undertaken by people to achieve organisational goals. Management is defined as working with and through others whilst leadership is defined as the ability to influence others in a goal directed path. In this unit you will develop an understanding of the differences between management and leadership. You will address specific aspects of different management and leadership styles, including delegation and performance management, their appropriateness and impact given people and cultural context. You will critically examine the individual attributes such as values, personality, motivation and the use of power and how they affect individual and team performance. You will also gain an appreciation of the key role played by organisational leaders in the implementation and alignment of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals and how organisations and businesses can become institutions of positive social change as well as meeting the needs of shareholders and/ or stakeholders.
