This Postgraduate Award will enable you to explore how leadership is changing in the face of the VUCA world and understand what it takes to build strategic leadership capabilities that are future focused and change oriented. It will also help you to understand what it means to behave like an adaptive strategic leader, learn about the essential components of strategic leadership, such as strategic thinking and acquire tools that will help you develop your capacity for strategic thought.
You will cover the following key specialist subject areas: measuring and transforming organisational energy, digital transformation, adaptive leadership, purposeful leadership and leading with a paradox mind-set. Although this PGA is driven by theory, you will be encouraged to apply your learnings to real-life situations and contexts, enabling you to understand the skills that are required for strategic leadership.
This Postgraduate Award will run across four days of face-to-face teaching at our London base in The Shard, with a six week window to complete your assignments.
To consolidate your learning, you will complete a couple of assignments that typically include a mix of direct essay questions and reflective work in which you analyse a leadership challenge. You will explore the application of leadership theory to evaluate the challenge and then identify solutions.
