Problems to be solved (justification of the need of the transnational cooperation):

The notion of management has been evolving throughout recent years from  an authoritarian administration  to performance monitoring and motivation. Yet recently a new urge has been noticed on the job market. Corporations and companies as well as SME need people who are not managers in this old-fashioned meaning but those who will not only administer , organise, control and motivate, but also  encourage employees to willingly follow them  and their vision.
That is why there is an urge for a new  curriculum at the universities to fulfil this need.

Objectives to be achieved: Creative Leadership is a program for those interested in ideas and tools addressing high levels of complexity and challenge. It prepares recently-graduated BA students and working professionals  for positions of responsibility in areas such as business, government, media, international and non-governmental organisations, as well as cross-sector partnerships.
Main transnational activities (as provisionally planned, to be confirmed with partners): The programme embraces not only theoretical    knowledge, but also  practical part which should be realized in the form of work experience and study visits in the selected enterprises and corporations  in partner countries willing to accept interns for a period of one or two weeks, to visit various departments of managerial level in order to analyse, discuss and suggest some solutions or changes.
Planned deliverables & outcomes of TNC: Knowledge:The graduates will  have  knowledge about the conceptual domain of leadership, its complexity and cultural, psychological and social aspects.  Will possess holistic  knowledge of self- social and environmental integrity.Skills:Graduates will   demonstrate ability to  question old-fashioned ways of management, critically approach  the theories and research upon  new visions and concepts of management which will be more leadership-like. Will understand themselves, others and the environment. Will have social skills of negotiating and conflict solving. Will have the ability to formulate their visions in an understandable way and will be able to encourage  others to follow them.Social competences:Graduates will reflect upon the holistic approach to a human being, will put more emphasis on multiple intelligences development, and sensitivity  towards  the surrounding world.
