MGX3105 · Leadership development lab

Overview

This unit develops you as a leader for life, not solely for your own benefit, but for the benefit of the wider community. The unit is structured as a leadership development laboratory in which you will actively test evidence-based leadership behaviours, examine how those behaviours are interpreted by others, and refine your practice through feedback and reflection. Learning is grounded in leadership science and emphasises self-awareness, behavioural experimentation, and moral judgment. Leadership development is treated as an iterative process of action, feedback, and recalibration, equipping you to lead thoughtfully and responsibly across diverse contexts.

Assessment

The Handbook does not list a final examination among the assessment items. That is not a guarantee there is none.

Assessment details may change. Please refer to the assessment information in Moodle closer to the start of the teaching period.
