Great leaders guide organizations to success by inspiring and motivating employees. They provide moral standards for employees to follow, bringing about change, driving innovation, and communicating a compelling vision for the future. According to HR managers, the most important leadership qualities are the ability to motivate, emotional intelligence, and natural leadership/charisma. The seminar tasks students to define leadership in groups, identify the most important leadership elements and support them with evidence from case studies on Tesco and Enterprise. Groups will summarize the key information for the class.
