Kursusindhold
This course lays out the philosophical foundations of sustainable leadership and sets the starting point for the programme Master in Sustainable Leadership. We begin with an overview of the main theories and approaches within leadership, such as situational leadership, and examine different leadership techniques and practices, including facilitation, mentorship, coaching, and mindfulness. We focus also on team building and profiling, and how to establish psychological safety and safe spaces. The second part of the course focuses on sustainability, in which we unpack sustainability definitions, trends, and interlinkages. By taking a holistic perspective, we study systemic thinking and planetary boundaries, and assess the challenges and failings of current paradigms. Finally, the third part of the course focuses on scientific principles and research methods, which support the design and execution of the Immersive Learning Project and Master’s Thesis of the programme. Participants will also create their Personal Leadership Development (PLD) plan.
