This module aims to develop leadership and entrepreneurial skills. In the first part of the module leadership and management theory is addressed, focusing on the study of how this may be applied to statutory and voluntary sector bodies, and on the skills of a leader, particularly creative thinking, casting vision and organizational development. Students will critique Christian understandings of leadership, as well as those emerging from business. Particular emphasis is given to formal tools of evaluation, as an aid to re-envisioning projects.

The second part of this module focuses on the notion of social enterprise. The module outlines the ideological and legal framework in which social enterprise has developed as an increasingly important element of community and economic development. It also introduces students to the diverse skill set required when setting up new projects, this skill set being equally applicable in traditional statutory and voluntary sector contexts. Assessments draw out the theoretical and practical implications of the module.
