Module aims and purpose

• Encourage development of behavioural skills in individuals to increase the effectiveness and appropriateness of their ability to develop leadership in others.
• Recognise the importance of both developing future leaders as well as developing the leadership of current colleagues.
• Build an understanding of succession planning and how to address skills deficits in leadership capability and capacity
• Develop an awareness of the ethical, moral and practical issues in relation to developing leadership in others.

Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
This module is subject to the Penalties for late submission for Postgraduate Flexible programmes policy, which can be found at:
The Module Convenor will apply the following penalties to work submitted late:
- where the piece of work is submitted up to one calendar month after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than one calendar month after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment

Through module forums, students will receive formative assessment and development feedback.
Assessments in AHEP are forward-looking, i.e., individualised feedback is provided for each assessment element, and the Officer students are instructed to apply the feedback they received into the next module’s assignment they are going to take. In addition, the students are able to send their essay plans to the module convenor for formative feedback before submitting their assignments.
