This course consists of five sessions. The course deals with different theoretical perspectives and research approaches in the fields of leadership and organizational change. Both leadership and organizational change are of critical importance to the functioning of organizations. Leadership is important, for example, in setting/guiding organizations’ policy and practice and in influencing the well-being and professional development of employees. Moreover, organizational change is (or can be) required, for example, to keep track of technological innovations, implement new policy/regulations (e.g., budget cuts, environmental demands), and to improve the functioning of the organization. Of course, attention will also be paid to the relation between leadership and organizational change, as leadership plays an active role in achieving organizational change. Examples of concepts that will be covered in this course are: transformational leadership, sensegiving, organizational routines, and organizational learning.
