Introduction |
The Basics of Leadership and Management Communication is an interdisciplinary, interactive module designed to raise critical awareness of the crucial role of language and communication in leadership and management. The main aim of the module is to equip students with theories from both leadership and management, communication and discourse theory, and provide them with opportunities to link language-focussed theoretical knowledge to business contexts. The module focusses on the role language plays in organisations: both as constitutive of organisational processes and reality, as well as a “technical skill” in leadership and management. In this sense this unique module provides students with an opportunity to go beyond the traditional communication training materials, question do and don’t lists and critically observe how language works in leadership and management. Throughout the course, we will combine findings from academic disciplines in language and discourse studies as well as business and organisational studies. The module is therefore recommended for students interested in language and discourse, as well as students of business and management who would like to develop an awareness of the importance of language and communication for business success. Course objectives Upon the successful completion of the module, students will be able to demonstrate a knowledge and increased awareness of: • the role of language and communication in a range of leadership and management contexts • theories and models of discourse analysis by which to analyse authentic leadership and management texts • the special demands and complexities of international leadership communication • a range of leadership communication skills Students will also hone their research, critical analysis, teamwork and problem-solving skills, and will be able to: • notice and critically evaluate a range of spoken, written, computer-mediated and multimodal leadership and management texts • carry out independent research • write a professional academic research paper • connect their theoretical and practical work to their own performance • experience corporate connections by engaging with authentic research data gathered from leadership settings • collaborate productively with others by working in teams to examine research data and orally present results of team discussions. |
