BMP 2400 Leadership and coaching. Methods and Tools Responsible for the course Morten Emil Berg Department Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Term According to study plan ECTS Credits 30 Language of instruction Norwegian Introduction Leadership - Practical skills Leaders as well as employees possess great resources and "hidden" talents, but often fail to develop their full potential on their own. Many people practice "negative self-talk" which work against themselves and use mental models that are flawed. The old “command and control” theories in managent must be replaced by I new forms of leadership and leadership methods. Employees need skilled leaders who will challenge and support them in achieving important personal and organizational goals. Coaching implies asking powerful questions, listening, suggesting alternative options, challenging for action, giving feedback and contributing to enhance self-efficacy. We will present and discuss numerous practical tools, e.g.conflict management, personal efficiency, strategies for stress coping, feedback, cognitive leadership and emotional intelligence. Main themes are the leader as coach and development of a coaching culture. Learning outcome Knowledge After having completed the course, participants should have:
