Leaders and followers is a new entry-level course and is part of a suite of three courses in management (i.e. organizational processes and critical management studies).
Leadership theory tends to be conceived and expressed as a dichotomy between ‘leader’ and ‘follower’. Other theories such as those on groups and teams, indicate that leaders are also followers and vice versa. This course seeks to examine the concept of ‘leader’, ‘follower’ and the space in between them as expressed in management theory.
Students will be exposed to traditional and current leadership theories, be encouraged to generate and implement a personal ‘leadership plan’ and be tasked to articulate a coherent understanding of what it means to be a leader, a follower or both.
