MNO 2007 Leadership and Ethics

Taken in SEM 1 AY15/16

Module overview: Very similar to MNO1001, teaches on leadership and ethical theories.

Review:
Compulsory module for business students.
This module was pretty easy in terms of concepts and understanding.

However, it required the submission of about 8 weekly one-pagers, which were quite a hassle for some. These were included in class participation grade.

Class participation was key to doing well in the module - yet there is a steep bellcurve since everyone will participate. Try to participate in the first few weeks if you wish to score, as the prof will try to limit the number of times of participation towards the second half of the semester.

Leadership moment project is a pair work - basically you have to write on a leadership experience including concepts learnt through this module. This was due about week 9.

 Group project presentation - done throughout the semester, usually done in a group of about 5-6 people. My group did pretty badly for this, as the prof didn't really like the case we presented, somewhat mentioning that we were out of point.

Test: Choose 3 out of 4 essays and write within one hour. Something some what like GP. Important to have real life examples - hence I suggest you take note of the examples your classmates mention in class if you don't really have good general knowledge. This test was quite a rush for me as I made the mistake of spending too much time for the first essay. Felt that it didn't go as well as I hoped - as I put in quite a bit of effort to memorise concepts, examples and quotes for the essay.

Webcast: None (Sectional teaching style)
Textbook: Not required, but can always get it free from your seniors
