Course description

Strong leadership is regarded as one of the best predictors of organizational success and critical human capital required for career progression in almost every organization. However, leadership is also a highly complex and often misunderstood phenomenon. It's hard to define, but we all know good and bad leadership when we see it. MGTS7631 Becoming an Effective Leader in Cyber Security will help you identify your own values and ethics as a leader, and most importantly, build your self-efficacy, your confidence and belief in your own ability to achieve intended results. You will learn the difference between leadership and management, the importance of understanding others and building empathy and relationships, and gain a better understanding of the different leadership styles you may encounter throughout your career. This course utilises a flipped-classroom model of learning. Students engage with online content, including a series of videos, interviews, case studies, quizzes, written reflections, and other self-insight activities. Then in practice-oriented tutorial sessions, students work together to apply their learnings to the cyber security context.
