Introduction

This program is designed to understand more about what constitutes effective leadership, and how it is evaluated and applied. Designed around a series of modules facilitated by academic and practitioner teams, the focus is on evaluating evidence from research and practice in live settings, case studies, and consultancy problems. Students will bring their own organizational experience to the course, if appropriate, and will also benefit from masterclasses with relevant speakers.

Using a range of policy and delivery challenges that cut across disciplinary, geographic, organizational, and sectoral boundaries, we critically reflect on how insights into theory and practice can generate and sustain individual development, organizational improvement, and enhanced public outcomes. This program champions the creation of public value and an ethical engagement with the multiple interests involved in public, private, and third-sector collaborations.

The program draws on a range of subject specialisms within the School of Social and Political Sciences and connects students with tutors who have research expertise in the area and can support students on their personal research and career paths.

Prioritising Face-to-Face Teaching

At the University of Lincoln, we strive to ensure our students’ experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, we have adapted to Government guidance to keep our students, staff, and community safe. All remaining Covid-19 legal restrictions in England were lifted in February 2022 under the Government&rsquo's Plan for Living with Covid-19, and we have embraced a safe return to in-person teaching on campus. Where appropriate, face-to-face teaching is enhanced by the use of digital tools and technology and may be complemented by online opportunities where these support learning outcomes.

We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance make this necessary, and we will endeavor to keep current and prospective students informed.

Features

The program will draw on established links with practitioners and experts to gain a practice-based understanding of public and political leadership. The academics involved all have expertise in supporting public leaders and guest leaders have experience as public leaders.
