Objectives
The contemporary workplaces are characterised by haste, incompleteness and uncertainty. They necessitate new ways of leading people, which this course aims to uncover. Contemporary leaders need to identify the key challenges in the business environment and utilize their leadership skills to influence, listen to and connect people for productive action in caring and socially sustainable ways. The topics related to contemporary leadership discussed in this course are therefore particularly timely.
Similarly, individuals with academic skills need self-leadership competences to be able to accommodate with the challenges of contemporary working life. Genuinely caring encounters, shared humanity and ‘learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable’ at work are key themes reflected upon during this course.
By taking this course, the doctoral researchers will:
- become familiar with the basic leadership theories and recent views and academic research on leadership and self-leadership
- be able to distinguish different leadership theories, critically reflect their principles and apply them in the analysis of day-to-day leadership practices
- reflect their own personality in the light of contemporary views on leadership
- develop analytical skills and argumentation by participating in reflective dialogue with the lecturers and other doctoral researchers;
- acquire meta-skills, such as critical thinking and self-reflection on how to lead oneself in complex work organizations.

The aim of the seminar is to support doctoral researchers in their research by addressing themes such as funding, research methods across disciplines, scientific frameworks, academic writing, time management, and the peer review process. The seminar is open to all doctoral researchers within the faculty, offering them the opportunity to discuss their research with peers from other disciplines. The interdisciplinary exchange helps students situate their own research within a broader, interdisciplinary context.
