Leadership University of Bordeaux

Course Overview

This course is designed to provide an integrative and practical focus
on leadership and management. It presents leadership and management
theories and concepts through active and extensive reading on the part
of students. It provides students with the opportunity to observe some
of these theories through a play. The course is also intended to help
students apply these theories themselves through case studies and to
enhance personal skill development through self-assessment activities.

Grading Philosophy

case-study activities will be evaluated. A written assignment based on
preliminary readings, class debates and personal analysis will consist
in a critical reflection paper. 

Course schedule

> HENRY V AND LEADERSHIP
Shakespeare's words and characters have an uncannyability to reach out
beyond their original time and space and to speak  directly to us.
His depiction of Henry V illustrates that leadership is not simple,
but full of ambiguities. Shakespeare's Henry V's  development as a
leader confirms Peter Drucker's statement that "Leaders are not born,
nor are they made--theyare self-made." 
> PERSONALITYTESTS

General presentation of personality tests:

- Big-Five Personality Test,
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator,
- DISC Assessment.

> THE PROCCESS AND ROLES OF LEADERSHIP

Readings, analyses and debates on different approaches and theories.

> LEADERSHIP TRAITS

Readings, analyses and debates on different approaches and theories.

> CASE STUDIES

Each week the class will be divided into small groups and assigned a
case study to work oin which will be debated in class. The case
studies will be short cases on management and leadership challenges
that will enable students to apply conceptual material to real world
work place situations.
