Week 17: social change through #collaboration. #storytelling provides new perspectives and can lead to social change #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 16: activist leadership is ideal for our #B329LeadershipChallenge forming coalitions between people in precarious positions to create a united group #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 15: resistance in leadership can be harnessed, leaders shouldn't shy away from it #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 14: placed based leadership is exactly that - solving problems on a local scale. Also beginning to think about the #B329LeadershipChallenge #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 12: different leadership style for different workplace cultures. #positivesum requires collaboration #BetterTogether #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 11: be cautious provoking conflict as a leader, don't let it spiral! Done well it can be a useful tool and create good ideas #innovation #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 10: Leadership isn't necessarily about your position. Followers can network and influence, leaders also need to network to build relationships #networking #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 9: #collaboration is working together to create or produce something. #silos must be avoided for this to work and leaders need to be aware of this. In my position I will look for #winwin solutions and to listen to other thoughts and ideas #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 8: there is no one size fits all to leadership #boundaryless and being adaptive to situations is key. #Blanchard is still relevant and his #leadership styles still used to good effect. #Gundling likewise, back to adaptivity #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 7: activities confirm I have a good idea of my identity #EmotionalIntelligence but identity can change depending on situations and surroundings #worklife

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 5: good leaders see the big picture and take a step back and evaluate, then put the pieces together. My interview delved into #precarity and #covid

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 4: cultures run deep #lilypond and an international organisation isn't necessarily multicultural. Multicultural leadership is highly beneficial #GLOBE but remember that the culture can have an impact on your thinking #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 3: people look for leaders through turbulence and populist leaders rise. People feel deprived while the elite prosper. Often portrayed negatively by the #media #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

A bit of catch up coming up

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 2: Precarity is a large scale problem, many groups of people and individuals live in this way. Banking crisis and following political decisions have amplified this profoundly #precarity #OUB329

[James Hopkins @OpenuniJames]

Week 1: Turbulent times require adaptive leadership - complexity leadership theory #gettingonthebalcony. Critical thinking is important for this #5steps. Twitter and LinkedIn can't be ignored #OUB329
