MBA with Leadership University of the West of Scotland, London (UWS)

Program Description

The world of business is constantly evolving year on year. Each development brings new challenges, for which businesses need to adapt efficiently to remain competitive. This requires leaders that can inspire innovation, and get the best from their employees. This MBA is designed specifically for graduates who have already taken their first steps in their business career, who are ready to move into leadership roles with more responsibility. During this programme, you’ll gain the knowledge and expertise that you need to progress into management positions, and will be ready to lead businesses of all sizes, whether your next role is with a start-up, SME or a multinational corporation. As part of this course, you’ll learn about different leadership styles, identifying sources of development and growth, and how to influence people in the best possible way, while inspiring team members in the pursuit of a collective goal. Upon graduation, you’ll be awarded an internationally recognised and respected qualification that proves you have the resilience, talent, and capability to take on positions of leadership and to build business success. There are many definitions of leadership that you’ll learn about on this course, and many types of leadership styles. In many cases, social influence and having the trust of your team, rather than authority or power are the key to successful leadership. Accordingly to Forbes, leadership is as ‘a process of social influence, which maximises the efforts of others, towards the achievement of a goal’. Becoming a good leader isn’t just about achieving a fantastic salary. Great leaders need to be able to: Communicate honestly, and openly with all members of the organisation Connect with team members, receiving and assessing new ideas respectfully Encourage employees to grow both personally and professionally Maintain a positive attitude in the face of adversity Empower and inspire employees, trusting them to do their jobs rather than giving orders Give positive and accurate feedback about performance
