The objective of this module is to create a theoretical framework that allows structured thinking about leadership in innovative enterprises, its antecedents and its impact. It uses the participants personal leadership experiences to develop a refreshed view on the leadership challenge that managers face.
Our emphasis is on how theory informs the practice of leadership and how these concepts help individuals to structure their ideas and actions. Each participant will be required to critically rethink established leadership behavioursand bring their learnings back into their own organizations. They will be challenged in their leadership behaviour by means of a pharmaceutical business case study.
