Psychological Therapies in Mental Health Care

No organisation operates in a vacuum. Developing an appreciation of global issues and the capacity to determine regional or local consequences for organisations is imperative for good leadership and appropriate management. Leaders, therefore, must be cognisant of contemporary issues that are or will impact the organisation, its people and the communities in which they operate. Leaders must make informed decisions as to the most appropriate response to mitigate risk, leverage opportunity and maintain relevance.As part of a suite of subjects examining leadership and the central function of organisational capability development, the premise of this subject is to generate curiosity about global issues and local consequence for leaders. It aims to connect current affairs to the development of capability to respond appropriately to identified or possible consequences. The subject encourages you to think more expansively about contemporary issues, particularly those on a global scale but with local or regional impact utilising learning generated from other subjects in the Leadership and Organisational Capability suite.

Contemporary Issues in Organisational Leadership

Examination of the role and nature of leadership as a practice, as behaviour and as a suite of capabilities has been reignited in the wake of responses to the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, critique of leaders and the role they play has been ongoing for some time. This subject aims to identify a more expansive view of leadership practices beyond prevailing Western paradigms. Developing an appreciation of alternatives is imperative for leaders particularly if they are to leverage the benefits of diverse talents via a culture of belonging. Generating an understanding of the role of ‘place’ to appreciate the nuances of context is a key competence for leaders and managers if they are to recognise and implement appropriate responses to capability challenges amid complexity. As part of a suite of subjects examining leadership and the central function of organisational capability development, the premise of this subject is to expand your understanding or knowledge of non-traditional notions of leadership and to appreciate the importance of sense-making in organisations. The subject encourages you to think more expansively about the nature of leading in contemporary organisations.

Leadership and 'Place'

The development of organisational capability via formal and informal leadership is often diminished due to ineffective processes or misaligned culture. Leaders therefore must be cognisant of the how processual tools at their disposal can generate appropriate responses to internal and external challenges. As part of a suite of subjects examining leadership and the central function of organisational capability development, the premise of this subject rests heavily on how process and informal leadership contributes to well-functioning organisations and how improvements can be made to leverage capability. The subject encourages you to think broadly about the role of diversity and culture in supporting informal leadership.

Leadership, Process and Capability

The role of leaders and the function of leadership has been the focus of scrutiny for many years. It could be argued that this scrutiny has been amplified in recent times due the recent crises associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, many of the challenges faced by leaders were already in need of resolution. As part of a suite of subjects examining leadership and the central function of organisational capability development, the central premise of this subject rests heavily on the role of positional power and structures that support leadership as a position in organisations. This includes an examination of strategy development, organisational structure, leadership behaviour and the utilisation of legitimate power. The subject encourages you to think more expansively about the emerging community demands of leaders in terms of ethics, behaviour and corporate citizenship. You’ll also be asked to reflect on your own capacities and behaviours as a leader.

Leading Capability Development in Organisations
