An information part where we go through important topics within the areas of leadership, self-leadership, super-leadership and self-managed teams, as well as the psychological and the theoretical background for these topics. 2. A process part that aims to make participants aware of their own conduct and thinking process, their strategies' strengths and weaknesses. This creates the basis for making a personal development plan that the leaders will work on during the course. 3. A project part where the theoretical and practical learning will be adapted to one's own situation. This project part will culminate in a project paper. The project may be based on the participant's result of a 360 degree evaluation of one's own style of self-leadership and be summed up with integration and discussion of the relationship between the leader's experiences, personal development and new research based knowledge in psychology and leadership. Other, more traditional projects with focus on the program's topics may also be chosen. Topics: 1. Session - Introduction and overview 2. Session - Motivation, performance and self-leadership 3. Session - Super-leadership, transformation and inspiration 4.

This first session will give an introduction into important parts of the program through looking at self-leadership as a method. Self-leadership theory will be compared to other leadership theories. We will also focus on participants' pre-suppositions and attitudes towards the program's work. Topics: 2. Session - Motivation, performance and self-leadership. This session focuses on the background for self-leadership: motivation theory. Besides, we focus on the so-called behavior strategies and the cognitive strategies within self-leadership. During the session participants will work on the understanding of these important theories and the strategies for obtaining concrete practice in techniques and methods that support their development as performance oriented leaders. We will also develop a personal plan of action for further work with performance oriented leadership. Topics: 3. Session - Super-leadership, motivation and inspiration This session focuses on the leader's work towards supporting others in their struggles to become proficient. The leader's function as role model is looked at through theories on learning, modeling and instruction. Additionally, we will look at the basis for super-leadership methods and the most important theories on transformation. Topics: 4. Session - Creativity, self-leading teams and personal branding When one get more responsibility through a self-leader role one needs increased qualities and knowledge on how to best make decisions and how to stimulate one's own and others' inventiveness. The session will also teach theories on these important topics, including practical tasks and demonstrations. Participants will gain more knowledge about groups and group processes and especially how one can work with self-lead and leaderless teams. Various influence strategies will also be taught. The session ends by focusing on personal branding as an interesting way to carry further the self-leadership concept in light of the development towards more freedom and better possibilities for the individual at the work place.
