Effective leadership relies on leaders reflecting on the contribution they make and the impact that they have on those they work with to build and maintain a positive organisational environment.
This unit is designed to provide the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to develop self-awareness, and identify strengths and areas for development. You will explore the relationship between self-awareness and effective leadership and examine self-awareness models and theories. The unit will also cover the methods used to assess personal leadership skills.
Additionally, you will learn how to apply strategies to develop self-awareness of leadership skills, including a self-assessment that can be used to produce a personal development plan.
By reflecting on your leadership effectiveness, you will identify areas for improvement and gain insights into your behaviours and the effects these may have on others. Such insight is essential for supporting your growth both as a leader and within your career.
