About this course

Traditional approaches to leadership focus primarily on the attainment of organizational goals, utilizing both task- and people-oriented leadership actions. Critical approaches to leadership adopt a different focus: democratic action, social justice, and human dignity. While the latter does not dismiss the need for a focus on goals, it gives primary attention to moral and ethical questions and the social and personal implications of leadership action.
