ExMP 2020: Leadership and Organisational Behaviour

The Leadership module aims to give participants insight about their own functioning in organizations and managerial situations

The world of organizations is changing and requires new leadership styles. In our knowledge society, autocratic forms of leadership no longer work. We are going from C C C (command, control, and compartmentalization) organizational cultures to I I I (information, interaction, innovation) cultures. Included among the new essential management skills of leaders today will be a coaching, mentoring mindset.

The Leadership module aims to give participants insight about their own functioning in organizations and managerial situations, as well as concrete, non-theoretical, tools to deal with a range of problems – and opportunities – that arise in connection with the management of human beings.

Objectives of the course

The approach is holistic and correlational: show the existence of links and mutual influences between the "intimate theater" and personal history of individuals (leaders), the different styles of leadership, corporate culture, satisfaction at work, commitment and solidarity of group members, and finally organizational performance.
