Leadership and mentoring are key skills required for effective business consultancy. Leadership is defined as the ability to influence others in a goal directed path, with transformational leadership specifically focussing on collaborative endeavours to work through change. Mentoring involves a long-term, supportive relationship between mentor and mentee, in which mentees take control of the process of personal and professional development with encouraging support from their mentor. In this unit, you will develop an understanding of the differences between mentoring and leadership. You will address specific aspects of different mentoring and leadership styles, including their appropriateness and impact given people and cultural context. You will critically examine the individual attributes such as values, personality, motivation and the use of power and how they affect individual and team performance. You will also gain an appreciation of the key role played by organisational leaders and mentors (both within the organisation and external, such as business consultants) in the implementation and alignment of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals and how organisations and businesses can become institutions of positive social change as well as meeting the needs of shareholders and/or stakeholders.
