Unit description Transformational Leadership is designed to enable students and those already employed in industry to further develop knowledge of what it is to lead and be led in an organisational environment characterised by rapid change and technological disruption. Study will encompass the nature of transformational leadership, the relevant theoretical frameworks and the personal, interpersonal, operational and systems-level capabilities required to lead in an array of change contexts. To assure applied understanding study of prevailing approaches and research on Transformational Leadership will be augmented with extensive self-profiling and researching a change project. Intended Learning Outcomes On completion of this unit you should be able to: 1. Demonstrate critical academic thinking on the nature and importance of transformational leadership capabilities in an organisational situation; 2. Assess how different leadership attributes and styles impact on how a leader influences, inspires and orients others to transform; and 3. Identify and develop a systematic approach to the leadership of a change project. The above learning outcomes are assessed through quizzes, assignments, presentations and the final examination. Linkage to other units You should draw upon all the relevant knowledge and skills you have gained from previous units and put them to optimal use. As a post-graduate unit, learning will take a systems- level, macro view of how an organisation operates in an international environment. Your learning and study will therefore have relevance to and linkages with other graduate units in areas such as Management, Strategic Management and indirectly to Business Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Graduate Statement Successful completion of this unit supports your development of course learning outcomes, which describe what a graduate of a course knows, understands and is able to do. Course learning outcomes are available from the Course Coordinator. Course learning outcomes are developed with reference to national discipline standards, Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), any professional accreditation requirements and the University of Tasmania’s Graduate Statement.
