About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102108 Leadership and Management. This unit explores management and leadership in early childhood settings. Managing the day to day operation of complex social organisations such as early childhood settings and navigating a pathway toward the future requires the development of micro and macro management skills that are nuanced and finely tuned to the socio-political context in which services are located. This unit explores management theory and practice in the context of early childhood settings with a focus on building relationships and influencing others, and organisational planning and change management.
