Personal leadership

Do you want to get to know yourself better and get more out of yourself? Challenge yourself and push your limits? Find out what suits you and how you want to influence the world around you? Are you stubborn or do you think you should show a bit more guts?

Course content

The Honours course Personal Leadership is offered twice a year, starting in term A and C.  It is especially suitable for students who want to do something extra in addition to their regular education. In this course you are in the lead. Your commitment and openness determine how much you will learn. This is not a course in which you “just do some assignments”, but in which you are challenged to really look at yourself and may be even transform yourself!

In groups of about 15 students, we will look at the way we live life based on the book “The 7 Habits of Effective Leadership” by Stephen R. Covey. How do you treat yourself and how do you treat others? And how do you let others interact with you? We will not only look inwards, but also outwards. Who do you admire and what can you learn from these people?

The course is completed with a master plan, showing what you have learned from your heroes and from Covey and what you will take with you into the future.

It can therefore be confronting and sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but above all very instructive and enriching. We therefore ask quite a bit of you: commitment, being open to the material and to each other, a sense of responsibility, giving and receiving feedback, etc.. You can also expect a lot from the lecturers: a safe environment, many activating assignments and interactive meetings, and lots of laughter.

You can take the Personal Leadership honours course for a single star for leadership.

Prior to the start of the course, information sessions will be organized in January, February and September. Send an email to Anneke.Reintjes@hu.nl , if you are interested in the course. She will inform you about the location of the information session. In case you like to participate another time, you can ask her to be placed on the waiting list.

Make sure to also register for the course in Osiris.
