COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM

The BBA programme contemplates three clearly differentiated dimensions: knowledge of the environment; more instrumental and organisational knowledge; and work on participants themselves at the personal level, preparing them for their holistic development in line with the Ledesma-Kolvenbach model. This subject is framed within the latter dimension and aims to further students¿ self-awareness. It is widely known that self-awareness is a competency that, in large measure, explains professional success. For this, providing the space for students to voluntarily develop this competency is fundamental, helping them to discover the present and future implications of their inner selves as well as learning to identify the possible developmental paths that can help them grow in the professional and personal realms.

Course Learning Objectives

-Identify personal strengths and motivations and the positive and negative implications of these for their personal and professional lives.
-Further students' knowledge of the psychological energies which comprise their very beings.
-Apply personal and group self-awareness in the professional setting through teamwork
-Situate students' own leadership styles based on their self-awareness.
