This module will challenge students to consider the extent to which the sustainable community agenda is dependent on strong, visionary leadership and effective management. They will explore how leadership potential can be recognised and developed in diverse contexts and at all levels. Students will develop an awareness of essential tools used to establish, manage and monitor dynamic partnerships and organisations consider the fundamental importance of effective team, inter-professional and inter-agency working (in particular between voluntary, public and private sectors). They will explore the particular challenges and opportunities that arise during collaboration between individuals, groups, volunteers, public and independent organisations. Students will be required to evidence their own developing self-awareness through reflection on personal and professional development and evaluate how their approach to leadership and management impacts their colleagues, peers and individual practice and performance.
