Explore what makes a good leader and how leadership influences teamwork. This interactive session introduces key leadership styles and their impact on working effectively with others.
In this engaging and interactive taster lecture, we explore the fundamental question: what makes a good leader? The session focuses on the impact of leadership on teamwork in everyday contexts, such as school projects, part-time jobs, or community activities. Students will be invited to reflect on their own leadership experiences and consider different ways leadership can shape team success.
We will briefly cover a range of leadership theories, including trait, behavioural, relational, and situational approaches. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these theories help explain how leaders influence others, adapt to situations, and build relationships that enable effective teamwork.
This session is suitable for students interested in business, management, or social sciences. It will be led by Dr Cristian Vasquez, organisational psychologist and lecturer at Sheffield University Management School. There will be opportunities for students to ask questions and hear from a current student ambassador about their experience of leadership and university life. By the end, students will gain insight into leadership styles and how leadership can enhance team dynamics and performance.
