Complexity accompanies many leadership challenges. This subject will investigate complexity
and competing values and perspectives. In small groups, students will analyse a contemporary,
emotive Australian rural issue that will be presented to them from multiple and competing,
legitimate perspectives. Students will examine their preconceived ideas and values
and wrestle with contested positions. Solutions to the issue are not sought but students
are asked to present a 'meta' understanding in terms of: processes; legitimate, multiple
perspectives; individual preconceived perceptions and assumptions; and tensions associated
with issues.
