Summary of Module
The number of published studies in the field of leadership and management is vast and spans several decades. However, despite such a large body of scholarship, leadership and management remain elusive concepts. This module introduces students to the concepts of leadership and management and encourages students to explore these autonomously. The aim is to provide a critical insight into leadership and management and discuss their varying conceptions.
The distinction between leadership and management is often made in literature. However, in the world today one question remains unanswered: Is leadership now increasingly needed by all managers? Students will examine the similarities and differences between leadership and management. The functions and activities of management and leadership will be discussed.
Students will develop skills in critical engagement with leadership and management research and theory. They will be able to display critical awareness of current developments in both fields and its importance in modern organisations. This critical reflection will be instrumental in meeting the leadership development needs of 21st century graduates as well as identifying potential sources of development.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
