Covers basic ideas and concepts behind high-performance teams
Course Overview
This module aims to enable students to gain an understanding of culture and its effect on the individual, the group, and organisation, and to develop leadership skills and behaviours that support the design, development, and maintenance of high-performance teams.
Students can learn more about organisational culture frameworks and theoretical approaches to defining and developing effective teams. They can practise self-reflection to increase their awareness about the relationship between culture and leadership, brainstorm learning opportunities in developing effective teams, and reflect on how the knowledge gained can be applied to their professional context and organisational settings.
How You Study
Students will work in a virtual learning environment, engaging with independent study materials such as videos and reading content and have opportunities to test their understanding.
Upon completion of the programme, students are expected to have developed an enhanced capacity to manage their own
learning and development, critically analyse theoretical models of leadership and management in relation to culture and high performing teams, and enhanced their capacity to develop the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of others within their organisation.
The main topics covered in the course include:
- Critical action learning
- National and organisational culture
- Team and group dynamics
- Culture, teams, and leadership
- Developing high-performing teams
How you are assessed
The types of assessment used will range from written assignments, reports, and reflective journals, which provide an opportunity to demonstrate learning. Specific guidance will be provided by the teaching team. All assessments will be subject to specific referencing and citation requirements, and University regulations relating to assessment, submission, and resits.
Upon successful completion, students will receive a digital badge and certificate of completion, and five Master's credits.
