Transformational Leadership
Programme details
Overview
In times of financial crisis, rapidly changing business contexts, and globalised work, managers depend more than ever on their subordinates to get results. Employees may thus represent both a key resource and a liability for managerial success. Tapping the full potential of employees, however, may require leadership and people management skills that stretch beyond ordinary managerial competences.
In this programme, we put the question of how managers can lead employees for maximal commitment and motivation centre-stage. We adopt a people management perspective to the following and many other leadership challenges:
- Can you motivate your employees without using formal authority?
- Can you flexibly adapt your leadership style to meet the needs of your employees?
- Can you handle the 'difficult' colleagues in your organisation and get what you want without alienating them?
- Can you effectively promote change in your organisation, and breach resistance to change?
- Can you persuade your peers and get their buy-in to a new business idea they might find little appealing?
Grounded in rigorous, cutting-edge research, the programme aims to provide you with inspiration, hands-on tools, and knowledge that may enhance your emotional and leadership skills for managerial results.

Faculty and speakers
Andreas Richter
University Lecturer in Human Resources & Organisations
BSc, MSc, PhD
Andreas's teaching philosophy centres on the belief that learning should be experiential and participant-centred. Consequently, he strives to create a classroom environment that draws on many different techniques and materials, such as case analyses, group discussions, films, and experiential exercises, in order to facilitate the collective learning process and actively integrate participants' work experience, opinions, and views.
He cooperated with, or consulted for, various public and private organisations in the health care, pharmaceutical, and financial sectors, focusing on team-working effectiveness, the stimulation of creativity and innovation, self-management training, and leadership development.
Andreas is a trained psychologist who specialised in industrial and organisational psychology, holds a PhD in management, and is a certified client-centred counsellor (occupational and clinical settings).
