The purpose of this course is to equip students with the knowledge, abilities, and confidence to become responsible leaders. This will be achieved through reflective practice, use of case studies, and scenario planning. The application of these approaches requires a good understanding of organisational behaviour, leadership, and organisational systems that were introduced to students in semester 1's Organisational Behaviour course. The Responsible Leadership course will successfully build upon this knowledge.
