Leadership Research Project

This is the capstone subject of the Master of Leadership course (unless you're doing the 20cp RES501 because you intend to pursue an HDR award).  RES591 is designed to be a culminating research-based project that builds on all that you've learnt throughout the course, and produce a useful piece of scholarship for your organisation, context, or future aspirations.  It is highly flexible in terms of output, but still requires students to develop skills in creating an appropriate leadership oriented research question, and mastering the disciplinary methods appropriate to answering that question.
