Description
Mapped to the CIPD Level 7 Advanced module of the same name, Developing Skills for Business Leadership focuses on three core areas for successful professional development and practice: managing yourself and others, transferable managerial skills and postgraduate study skills. Each skill is covered both theoretically and practically to help all readers analyse and critically evaluate, manage more effectively, make sound and justifiable decisions and lead and influence others.
Covering key concepts such as developing your professional identity, effective management of interpersonal relationships at work and interpreting financial information, this fully updated third edition of Developing Skills for Business Leadership is ideal for all postgraduate students on both CIPD and non-CIPD accredited courses. Now including international examples and leadership challenges throughout, this new edition also includes brand new coverage of managing digital presence, workplace diversity and new chapters on communication skills and developing the organisation. Every chapter is also supported by ‘skills in practice’ examples to help students put the skills in context and see how they apply in the workplace. Online supporting resources include an instructor’s manual and lecture slides as well as additional case studies, and sample assignments, checklists and exam guides lecturers can use in their teaching.
