The thinking behind the programme
The challenges of leadership continually shift and grow with the dynamics of the wider world, yet fundamental aspects of the leader can be both studied and adapted to specific contexts.
Our programme was created to combine theory and functional practice. It is centred around aligning leadership purpose with the strategic purpose of the organisation.
Participants will engage in reflective learning, examining core leadership themes including: power and influence, motivation, authenticity and adaptability, change, complexity, and diversity.
Oxford’s unique collection of leadership thinking is developed through several models which have been both created, and adapted, for this programme including:
- The Oxford Leadership Framework
- The Morris model
- The S3 model
- The Power of Doubt Framework
