This unit examines leadership from the perspective of neuroscience. Research in cognitive science is providing us with a greater understanding of how to improve personal behaviours and leadership performance.  It is showing us what areas of the brain are implicated in different sorts of interactions, how the various areas of the brain work together to process all sorts of complex processes like stress, change, psychological safety; it is even showing us how the brain influences our inherent levels of grit and determination and how we can increase them. The unit will discuss the practical implications of this brain knowledge, and how to leverage it for successful leadership. 

Research also tells us that those who grasp the meaning and implications of this research will be positioned to improve individual performance, as well as that of teams and organizations.

Digital Badging – a new way to gain qualifications!

Digital Badges are used by educational and learning organisations as competency-based signifiers of achievement. Now you can achieve a civilian university recognised academic credential, being a Digital Badge from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) through completing any Cove+ unit and passing the test of objectives.

For a 10 hour course, organisations like QUT often charge over $600 for this type of training and the issue of a Digital Badge.

If your course is an AQF 4 or 5 level course (vocational), you can do a ten question quiz to gain a badge. But be careful, this isn’t Campus course, you need to know the content to pass! If your course is an AQF 6 or 7 level course (undergraduate), then you need to submit an 800 word essay which will be assessed by a QUT lecturer.

Digital Badges are issued within 10 working days of unit completion.

You can share your Digital Badges to your LinkedIn profile, note it on personal CVs, and even include it in email signature blocks. See the examples below of a Cove+ module Digital Badge.
