LEADERSHIP & SUSTAINABILITY

Final Assessment

For
the final assessment you are to choose your own case study and describe and
critique its Leadership for Sustainability. You should
·
Analyse the nature of
leadership in the organisation and consider its relationship with established
theory
·
Evaluate the extent to
which global environmental pressures impact on the case study and analyse the
ways in which the leadership is dealing with those pressures
·
Undertake a critical
appraisal of the ways in which tools and theories relating to sustainability
are or could be used in your case study
·
Critically evaluate
the extent to which your case study are developing strategies for
sustainability
For
the case study, you can choose ANY organisation, public, private or not‐for‐profit.
Apply
as many of the concepts of leadership and sustainability covered in this module
as you can. You should recall in summary the concepts you use, but do not spend
long describing them – we are looking for APPLICATION of the concepts to your
case study, not descriptions of them.
Remember,
we are not looking for an essay on leadership or sustainability, nor for a series
of definitions, nor for a summary of the material covered in the module – we
are looking to see how well you can use the concepts you have learned about to
analyse the operation of your case study organisation
Another
reminder to use the Assessment Criteria (below) as a guide to ensure you cover
all the critical areas for which marks are available.
