Case Study

Learners may use their own employment context, or that of another organisation with which they are very familiar, to base their assignment.

Keep in focus the originally stated strategic human resource objectives. (250 words)

3.2: Evaluate how leadership style has favourably supported or presented adverse leadership conditions, keeping in focus the originally stated human resource objectives of the organisation. (200 words)

Review how these variances may be avoided in the future, and how learning may be cascaded to the wider organisation. (200 words)
