During, and since, the 1980s and 1990s, several new theories regarding leadership have been introduced. These theories are partially connected to the development of the knowledge-society, to the need for leadership under flexible conditions of organization, and partially, to changing perceptions regarding what exactly constitutes a good leader. This course will focus on the range of new theories of leadership and research, as well as a review of the discipline¿s development from its origin around the turn of the century about a hundred years ago.
The aim of the course is to give the students a thorough and critical insight into the status of leadership research by focusing theories of leadership, and the most important questions and dominating trends in today¿s leadership research ¿ so that the students will have a conscious and superior understanding of leadership as a subject.
