Leadership When the Path Is Not Clear.
About this programme
Plenty of leadership training assumes stable conditions. Budgets are set, strategy is clear, and the main job is execution. That is rarely the situation people are actually in.
Designed around a specific problem
This project starts from the observation that most leadership difficulty happens during change: a restructure, a new strategy that contradicts the old one, a budget cut that lands without warning. The curriculum was built around those situations specifically.
Students work through how to communicate honestly with a team when you yourself do not have all the answers. There is a meaningful difference between saying nothing and saying something honest but incomplete. Most people default to silence because the alternative feels vulnerable. The project examines why that tends to make things worse.
What students produce
The final deliverable is a written leadership response plan for a realistic change scenario. Participants choose from three provided scenarios or propose one from their own context. Feedback comes from both the instructor and two peer reviewers.
The project takes around eight weeks if you work through it steadily. Rushing it tends to produce thin responses that do not hold up under review.
