The course will explore the current leadership dilemma in the health professions (specifically). The purpose is to prompt the extension of the role of oral health professionals to serve as leaders who engage a richer "public good" agenda as part of their role as doctor/teacher. The course will concentrate on important issues such as leadership development and theories of leadership; team building; personality preferences and leadership; peer assessment; transformational and transactional leadership; stress management; leading change; negotiation; and giving and receiving feedback.
