Course description |
|
Leadership has been described as the process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task and at the same time is the ability to influence a group of people towards a goal. In this course students will increase their own leadership capacities through feedback, reflection and practice. The hypothesis to be tested is that effective leadership is the ability to successfully integrate and maximize available resources within the internal and external environment for the attainment of organizational or societal goals. The heart of this course is the emphasis on the leadership skills, traits and qualities that are necessary to health professionals in order to lead and coach individuals within a health organisation. One of the main goals of the course is to guide students and health professionals to self evaluation and assessment. In this framework, students will use readings, role plays, experiential exercises, and self-reflection, as well as focused coaching and feedback, to optimize their own leadership capabilities. |
