摘要：Leadership is important. Management is important. There are good reasons to conceptually and pedagogically separate the two in order to see some fundamental differences. In a cross disciplinary master program named Technology Management at Lund University, Sweden, the students are given opportunities to study and learn management, and however, what makes the program unique is its profound focus on leadership. The Technology Management program includes six courses, Teamwork and Leadership being one of them. In this course, theories and knowledge in leadership is learnt and discussed, this is then intertwined into the other courses in which it is practiced, and finally the outcome is brought back to the Teamwork and Leadership course for further discussions. In addition to this the students are writing daily reflections in a so called Learning Journal, over a one-year period, making it possible for the students to reflect over and thereby shape their own leadership style and mindset. Course evaluations and placement reports indicates that the students learning about theories, practice and mindset related to leadership is ranked as the most valuable learning from their entire educational curricula/period.
