This online subject focuses on leadership and change practice, and has considerable potential to support employability. It is the first of two subjects on leadership, influence and change and lays the foundation for the evidence-based inquiry to be carried out in 200885 Leadership, influence and change B. Its strong work-based and reflective enquiry component will help students explore how to initiate and carry through improvements and projects to current work. Students will also develop skills to enable them to manage their learning in new work contexts. In this subject, the concept of 'work' is not limited to paid employment. However, for successful completion of this subject it will be very important to be involved in some ongoing project where students can influence others and initiate change.
