Course Description
IMPORTANT: This course has an emphasis on discussion – the course is to a world-wide global class. We can all learn from one another. This long Diploma course is serious and workbooks and assignments are set. Leadership is not about watching videos alone but discussing, considering, suggesting and then making decisions. The Educational Announcements and the Q/A ensure that this course is always up to date.

The emphasis throughout in giving practical examples and the setting of research topics. You – the students from 166 countries – know far more than I do about your own culture, your own skills and your own workplace environments. I bring to the course my academic and work-based background, (too many) years of experience and a willingness to listen.
Many many lectures about the generations – interspersed with clips from films which I had the privilege of acting in – and some exercises/questions for you to answer.
Theorists?
- Maslow
- Herzberg
- Taylor
- McGregor
- Skeldon approach
- Dressing gown theory
So, some new(ish) and some old.
But all relevant.
