Assignment Specification
Strategic leadership occurs in all organisations and is increasingly complex due to globalisation and
a myriad of ethical considerations. The successful leader is able to synthesise varied knowledge,
draw conclusions, and exercise judgement appropriate for a particular context or situation. To
facilitate this synthesis and provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate these skills you are to
critically analyse your own organisation or another company you are interested in researching.
Specifically, you will critically assess how ethics, gender, and strategic leadership theories are
addressed in the new post GFC environment.
In a world of so many strategic leadership approaches and theories, how does one identify and
implement the best leadership approach for her or his particular leadership situation and context?
How does gender impact the way leaders are perceived, particularly in a high- stakes situation? How
does a leader determine an ethical course of action?
In this project, you will consider these questions and provide answers based on the theories,
approaches, and other information you acquire throughout the module as well as your own research.
Identify the key issues in the organisation and:
produce a research-related literature review
undertake a full company analysis and discussion
Summarise and demonstrate understanding of related literature and company analysis
Discuss specific leadership theories or approaches that would be appropriate in your particular
organisation and explain why.
Be sure to cite and reference examples from the module textbook and journal articles presented in
this module as well as resources you identify from your own research. Your submissions should
demonstrate critical analysis of the topic and a coherent application of related theories.
