Description
This course presents a fantastic opportunity!
There are 7,581 students on this course! That is a LOT of students which is great. Think how many can exchange ideas, build networks, share responses to case studies, make suggestions, share resources.
Hang on.
Of those 7,581 students, 7,253 have never ever looked at any lectures!
7,253!
So why have they enrolled?
Let us look a bit more closely at the 322 who HAVE started a lecture.
They average SEVEN minutes a year!
SEVEN MINUTES.
And the total of minutes watched includes at least one student who watched the three hour course...in a few minutes.
The Q/A - how many posts from the 7,581 students?
THREE - and one of them is asking about the Diploma.
So, what is the significance of this?
Simple: it is an opportunity. It means that IF you do the course properly, do the Case Studies, the homeworks and post in the Q/A then you'll have almost individual attention - and you probably got the course for free!
So it is a real opportunity!
This is a course that looks at the application of spiritual practice to leadership.
To that end we discuss:
Panchatantra and leadership
Christian principles
The nature of leadership in Islam
Grounded theory
Being a Contemplative
Volunteering
Social Groups
Internships
Leadership workshop activities
The spirit of service
28 Business Thinkers
Activities that give leadership development
Tantric Management
The concept of accountability
Cartoons
Cartoons?
A range of cartoons were specially commissioned for this course. These summarise key aspects. you are shown the cartoons and asked which lectures, which thoughts, they relate to.
Remember the cartoons; remember the principles.
One of the activities involves the writing of poetry.
Poetry?
We look at several poems about leadership - but you are encouraged (as with many lectures) to write your own and then share in the Q/A.
This is NOT a course where you just watch, absorb and move on. This is a course where you are encouraged to 'fill in the gaps' in accord with your own beliefs. There are also some fun activities on the way!
This course is approximately three hours long - but in reality it is a lot longer than that as you are given areas of your business life to consider, go away and then come back and share your thoughts.
No judgement - just the sharing of ideas.
Links and references are given throughout.
The material included is up to date as of mid-February 2023 - it even includes the 'No D***head policy' of the new Mental Skills coach at Chelsea football club!
Who this course is for:

Oxford School of Learning was set up in 1986. It became a limited company which was then closed down around 2018 as there was no need to keep it going. The School kept going though, writing/providing books, online courses and issuing the Oxford School of Learning Diploma to those who met difficult criteria.
As the name suggests, Oxford School of Learning is based in Oxford, UK. The original Principal was Chris Sivewright who now delivers various Economics and Business courses for us.
