11 What is leadership? OR107S Leadership as a concept and practice will be dealt with, studied and examined. Different theories on what leadership is and how it should be conducted are studied and examined. The development of leadership theories is related to the economic and societal development in general.

14 Who is the leader? OR109S The question regarding who the leader is points the attention to traits and personality, behaviour, style and temperament, and how the leader is shaped in relation to her/his context. How crucial are genetic conditions such as sex and abilities you are born with, for how the leader is shaped and, thus, who the leader is? How crucial is the childhood, social class, education and peers for how the leader appears? And to what extent is the leader's identity and self-understanding shaped by the organization? These are the main issues that are discussed on this module. And what is it that motivates those who choose a career as leader? How lonely, stressful and demanding is it to be a leader, and which social and personal challenges is it that you may come to experience? Is the leadership role something for you? If so, which leadership role fits you best? No costs except semester registration fee and course literature. WHO IS THE LEADER?
