When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

About this course

Overview and Outcomes.

Overview

This module introduces no new theory. Instead it applies the frameworks of the Leadership programme to six real leaders: Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Yunus at Grameen Bank, Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, Terry Leahy at Tesco, Sara Blakely at Spanx and Paul Polman at Unilever. Using four questions, diagnose, decide, distribute and sustain, it builds the judgement to choose which lens fits a live, unlabelled situation.

What you'll develop

In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:

  1. Use the four questions of diagnose, decide, distribute and sustain to read a real leadership situation, including your own.
  2. Identify which established frameworks, such as adaptive leadership, wicked problems, the leader-leader model and the Stockdale Paradox, are doing the work in a specific case.
  3. Assess where a framework is stretched by a real case and explain why holding values constant while tactics flex matters across contexts.
