Wir konnten mal sagen, wie wir eine Vorlesung gestalten würden und konnten diese dann auch durchführen. Das war mal was anderes und kreativ.
Helped me to improve my weaknesses ‚understanding leadership‘ and ‚practice ethical behavior‘
The course and all the insights helped me a lot to improve my weaknesses in the field of leadership. For me personally, my own leadership development never stops and I want to improve constantly not only my weaknesses but also my strengths, because in our changing and agile world people always have to adapt to new circumstances and challenges.
Die Veranstaltung Leadership war für mich besonders, weil es kein klassisches Vorlesungsmodell war. Durch das Aneignen einiger Inhalte im Selbststudium konnte man selbst die Rolle des Lehrenden einnehmen und seinen Kommilitonen eigene Inhalte vermitteln.
Eines meiner Highlights war die Vorbereitung eines interaktiven Leadership-Trainings am Ende des Kurses zu einem zuvor gewählten Themas.

Didactics
Didactic Experiment Mindfulness 2023:
HUGS Goes Yoga
Many large German corporations have now recognized the importance of mindfulness in life and that this topic should also be integrated into everyday professional life. In a didactic experiment in the summer semester of 2023, we started our 'Leadership' course in the Master's program at MU with yoga and mindfulness on every lecture day of the blocked event. Starting the day with mindfulness and yoga makes it so much more beautiful! My thanks go to the motivated students :-)
Due to the positive feedback from the participants we will integrate different mindfulness activities into the curriculum of the course.
