3 Subject details 3.1 Subject description Welcome to the world of business leadership and management excellence. In today’s turbulent world where new
industries are forming as old ones crumble, innovative new business models appear rapidly while technological
developments appear at seemingly breakneck speeds. In such an environment, business survival and continued
prosperity depends on leadership excellence. This subject draws on a wide body of leadership theory and concepts to
examine leadership through an overarching leadership typology of leadership as Person, Position, Process, Purpose
and Result. Weaving through this typology is the notion of exploring leadership from a leadership Point of View (POV)
to see what needs to be done, understanding context, leadership-as-Practice, self-development and exploring Worldly
leadership. This involves understanding that people behave at three levels: visible behaviour, conscious thought and
semiconscious values, assumptions, beliefs and expectations. You will consider leadership through the lens of self,
others and energy. Underlying this exploration of leadership is the notion of critical theory that enables you to reflect
and be reflexive to seek new possibilities and positive implications by linking theory to practice.
The subject explores theory and practices, issues, emerging challenges and implications, and thinking of leadership
and management in organisations in an increasingly dynamic and dispersed world with application to indigenous
perspectives in the tropical and global world. The subject establishes a critical framework to study leadership and
management in context in a range of contemporary organisational forms. A focus of the subject is for you to critically
examine self and others involved in the leadership and management context and to critically reflect on the impact this
has upon individuals, teams and managers, organisational design and self. A central aim is to provide a framework for
the analysis of leadership and management of contemporary organisations by engaging in discussion and analysis of
contemporary organisations. Ultimately, the subject draws you to consider your own leadership point of view and
style of leadership and management within the context in which you will be leading and managing in your career.
This subject draws together theories, concepts and knowledge studied in other subjects in the management and
associated disciplines.

Refer to Subject Outline Part B for links to Class Registration and Timetable information. Subject Outline Part B is
available on the subject site in the Subject Outline menu item.
This subject uses a combination of approaches to learning and teaching, including both student centred and teacher
directed approaches. The content is disseminated using a variety of learning and teaching strategies including
workshops, group work, case studies, discussions, simulations, and readings. At the beginning of each workshop, you
will be made aware of the expected learning outcomes, how such outcomes are relevant to the world of business, and
the resources that support the learning outcomes of this subject.
Beyond the classroom, your learning experience will be greatly enhanced if you collaborate and share ideas with other
students using the subject discussion board. One easy way to achieve this is to form a study group with 2-3 other
students with similar needs and expectations. Your lecturer can assist with this.
You are expected to be an active participant in the learning process and are encouraged to participate in workshops and undertake weekly readings.
Tips on how to get a good grade:
First and Foremost, ATTEND CLASS!
CBLG: Brisbane | Cairns | External | Singapore | Townsville Page 7 of 22
• Read the assigned materials prior to class. • Make a copy of the PowerPoint slides and add extra notes from the lecture and your own reading. • Try to relate the concepts read to a current situation for a practical application of the theory/concepts. • Actively listen to the lectures, presentations and discussions. • Participate in the in-class and on-line discussions. If you participate, you will get a better understanding of the
concepts with the added bonus that you will remember the material more during exam times. We all learn
from each other.
• If you do not understand something, ask. If you are too shy or are intimidated to ask during the workshop, ask after class. Try to remember, there is no such thing as a silly question. If you are confused or wondering
about something presented in class, it is highly likely that others are confused or wondering about the same
thing. So please, ask for clarification – help the class!
• Look for practical examples of leadership in everyday situations. Ask questions like which could the leadership here be improved and if yes, how and what should be done differently, how is the leader engaging, influencing
and building relationships with followers and other leadership stakeholders?
• Participate in the group activities. Take interest in your class and classmates. • Have the right positive attitude. Your contribution to your education is an investment in your future. Failure to
put in the work and effort required to be successful in this subject is likely to lead to poor results or failure in
the subject. Effort equals result. It is your choice to be successful or not.
Lecture/Workshops
Sessions are conducted as a three (3) hour workshop, which requires you to prepare before the session by reading the
textbook and prescribed literature, watching prescribed videos and/or YouTube material, conducting appropriate
research and additional material held in the Reserve on-line and/or LibGuide. Sessions will consist of approximately 50
minutes of ‘key point’ lecture with the remaining session time devoted to practical workshop activities, case studies,
individual and group/small group activates.
Tutorials/Practicals
Sessions are devoted to confirming understanding of the theoretical constructs and practical application of the theory
to ‘real world’ organisations.

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: DESCRIPTION
Reflective writing aims to get you to think about and understand your learning experiences. It encourages Tacit
(unarticulated, ‘as yet unspoken’) knowledge to become Explicit (captured in words, writing and drawings, knowledge
that has possibilities of being universal, supporting the capacity to act across contexts) knowledge. ‘Tacit and explicit
knowledge interact so that an individual might, for example, shift understanding between a task and the tools, reflect
on his or her own experiences, use language to remind him or herself of what he or she already knows, thematise certain
circumstances and discuss these with others’ Tsoukas, (2003) p 802. Specifically, you will be reflecting on your thinking, before, during and after the writing, pondering on progress and how to improve, Silby and Watts (2015) p.803.
Individually you are expected to reflect and evaluate ways in which you understand the academic and practical aspects of the subject.
This assessment requires you to complete TWO related activities:
1. Discussion Board - actively participate and contribute to the subject Discussion Board on LearnJCU – see the marking rubric for specific task requirements.
2. Reflective Essay – see the marking rubric for) specific task requirements. This process will help you to better understand yourself and your capabilities.
CBLG: Brisbane | Cairns | External | Singapore | Townsville Page 13 of 22
Discussion Board Contribution
The Discussion Board covers a variety of subjects including personal experience of leadership, discussion of leadership
research related literature, advantages and disadvantages of different leadership approaches.
Some topics require you to read, synthesize and critically appraise while others require you to share your opinion,
supported by research related literature. In either case you must be able to argue why you hold the viewpoint you do
and draw on a selection of academic articles to support your position.
You will be asked to give yourself a mark out of TEN (10) for each of the TWO (2) Discussion Forums. The Discussion
Forum Self-Assessment Rubric is in section Six (6) of this subject outline and in the assessment folder of the LearnJCU
subject site.
A total out of 20, with your justification of your assessment mark is due on 11 January 2019 (Week 10) by 12 Noon. This is the same date and time that your Reflective Essay is due. The lecturer will monitor your self-assessment and you
may negotiate with the lecturer if invited to do so by the lecturer.
Your assessment may be subject to moderation (up or down) if the lecturer considers that you have judged yourself inaccurately. If for any reason, the marking of the self-assessment is difficult, please seek advice from the lecturer. However, you are expected to be able to accurately reflect on your contribution and truthfully self-assess your
contribution. The lecturer has the final say on the mark. So, be diligent, honest and genuine in your contribution and
self-assessment.
Your contributions count for 20% of the overall total of this piece of assessment in recognition that your thinking and
analysis is important to generating peer learning and contributing to a learning leadership community.
Discussion Board - Forum Topics

ASSESSMENT TASK 3: CRITERIA SHEET
See Rubrics in Section 7.
Submission:
The ability to adhere to deadlines is a highly desirable attribute that employers seek in our graduates. Right from
the beginning, new students should acquire the habit of meeting deadlines for their work, by organising their
study time appropriately. The following points apply to the submission of assessment
1. Assessment must be submitted to the Assignment Drop Box on the LearnJCU subject site (click on Assessment in the subject site menu)
2. You must contact your lecturer well before the due date if you are likely to require an extension
3. Extensions will be granted in cases of illness or personal issues (supported by strong evidence – at least medical certificate/counsellor’s statement required). It is at the discretion of the subject
coordinator/lecturer that extension s will be granted for inescapable, unexpected, documented work
commitments (provide documentation).
4. Where no prior extension has been approved, late submissions will incur a penalty of 5% of the total mark available per day including part-days, weekends and public holidays. Assessment tasks will generally not be
graded after 14 days past the due date.
Note that the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Policy (5.22.3) outlines a uniform formula of penalties that will be
imposed for submission of an assessment task after the due date. This formula is 5% of the total possible marks for
the assessment item per day including part-days, weekends and public holidays. After 20 days, the assessment item
thus would be awarded 0 marks (i.e. 5% x 20 = 100% of total possible marks in penalties).
Return of assessment:
