7 years in. 1 to go! I am currently studying course B329 with open University towards an undergraduate degree in design and innovation.

@nureen_bajwa I know! I have found this module really interesting as it made me look at my leadership practices and how to adapt them. Good luck in the EMA Nureen!

#wk17 Successful #storytelling could help me break-down cultural and ethnic barriers between people and help work towards a #multicultural working environment. #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk17 #storytelling is a way to #engage people in a humanistic level (make them care) and can #mobilise them for action. #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk16 on a personal level being able to identify/define my purposes (values) will help me to commit/maintain them in order to prevent a dissonance between my professed purpose(s) and practice(s) and the conflicts that can arise because of this #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk16 its important to have a well defined #purpose, however awareness that this 'purpose' could be interpreted differently by different people & benefit some groups over others is a must #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk15 using Flemming and Spicer's power and resistance framework could help me identify the type of leadership power and create an effective 'Face of resistance' to counteract it #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk15 Fleming and Spicer's #power of #resistance framework is useful in categorising types of power and the likely resistance response from followers #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk14 The turbulent business environment is only set to increase due to the pandemic, recession & volatility in politics. The 3 step process to address challenges will inform my professional capability by strengthening my reactive decision making & problem solving #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk14 has taught me the importance of #identifying #prioritising & #categorising #challenges to deal with them effectively. This 'framework' gives a process where underlying drivers can be identified and addressed, rather than concentrating on the visible surface issues. #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

@B329Leadership Sort of. I work for a national organisation but there is certainly the potential to implement a place-based strategy tailored to my local area that targets prominent issues in Glasgow.

#wk13 TMA02 submitted! The report format was a welcome return from blog writing! #OUB329

Mind map from #wk10 #OUB329 and the different influences that had an affect on my decision to continue with my university studies

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

@B329Lisa @B329Leadership Same! I have always seen conflict as a negative thing but week 11 has shown that an open environment that allows conflict to be brought up can lead to a more holistic (and more productive!) Workplace!

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk12 in collaboration the ideal outcome is win-win however this can be difficult to achieve. Leadership strategies in the form of a vision can provide a structure to the collaboration process and aid negotiations #OUB329

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#wk12 the application of #game #theory to #collaboration can help provide insight into the partners behaviour and aid the achievement of win-win outcomes #OUB329 #leadership

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#WK11 this weeks learning has encouraged me to consider causing conflict (if appropriate!) By the way of constructive dissent to bring issues to the surface and look towards a feasible solution. #OUB329 #conflict #leadership

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#WK11 has taught me that confliction is highly probable in complex organisations however, approaching it from a #constructive viewpoint can help stimulate conversation and move the debate forwards an uncomfortable environment. #OUB329 #business #leadership

[Amy Paterson @b329ap]

#WK10 has inspired me to take a more relational approach within my work role. I will look to breakdown traditional job title/roles and try to encourage an open floor setting to allow #ideas and #innovation regardless of job grade. #business #leadership #
