Leadership: external context and culture

Introduction

Through studying this free course, Leadership: external context and culture, you will develop your understanding of the impact of external context and culture on the practice of leadership. The course begins by exploring the nature of ‘societal culture’ and identifying how culture, at a number of levels, impacts on leadership. We then explore how the external context within which an organisation operates impacts on the factors that leaders need to take account of. Finally the course examines the relationship between policy and leadership.
