Module Indicative Content
This module will consider the extent to which the sustainability/ environmental management agenda is dependent on strong, effective leadership and management. You will need to distinguish between the two and debate the merits of diverse leadership and management practices and styles within the context of organisational and national sustainability and environmental strategies (e.g `Securing the Future', Agenda 21). In particular you will need to consider how leadership and management can promote and support person-centred planning and the impact of breakthrough thinking, innovation and creative vision on organisational, team and individual practice.
