Dear course participants,
Next week we have our course “Leadership & Organizational Culture”. For making the most out of this course, I share some additional information. With this information, you should be able to prepare well for the course without having to spend too much time for preparation either (please see also the uploaded documents).
The course takes place online at three evenings from 18h00-21h00 (i.e., Wednesday 22 February, Thursday 23 February, Friday 24 February) and on Saturday 25 February from 9h00-14h00. All courses are held on site, except for the session on Wednesday (https://unige.zoom.us/j/63437905136). That is:
i) Wednesday: online
ii) Thursday: on site
iii) Friday: on site
iv) Saturday: on site
The course is structured around three case studies (Chris Peterson at DSS consulting, Wolfgang Keller at Königsbräu A-case & B-case) that we discuss in the specified order. Reading the first two cases prior to class is essential because the cases allow discussing leadership based on real world challenges. None of the classes will be a frontal teaching of some theory. Instead, each session starts with a practical problem (i.e., the case), draws on your inputs and practical experience (i.e., in class discussions and group works), and will conclude with and be integrated by research-based insights (i.e., my role). The first two cases are uploaded on Moodle, and you will get the third case in due time during our course time.
Please note: It is essential that you read the first case studies before our session on Wednesday and the second case study before our session on Friday. Else, you are not able to engage in and follow the class discussion in the same way; and this would severely limit your learning. But do not worry. The case studies are comparatively short and do not take too much time to read (max. 8 pages of text). Ideally, you underline key information in the cases and take some notes. Then you are well-equipped for class discussions.
In addition, for each of the sessions there is one practice-oriented article as optional reading. You are not expected to read these articles before class. Instead, these optional articles are offers for those of you who seek further readings on a certain topic; e.g., because you found one session particularly relevant.
I am looking forward to e-meeting you next week on Wednesday, and to seeing you in person from Thursday onwards.
Best regards,
Thomas
