EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
AUDACIOUS LEADERSHIP
October–November
Audacious Leadership is an adventure-based unit in leadership. It uses
principles of experiential learning to illuminate theories and models,
and aims to provide a practical understanding of audacity. An audacious
leader is likely to be adventurous, fearless, intrepid, bold, daring.
We expect to see chutzpah and nerve on display. Such qualities can
achieve great things and confer charisma on the leader. At its best,
audacity is paired with self-awareness, humility, good judgment and
a deep understanding of how people respond to the tasks of leading
and being led.
The Audacious Leadership unit will challenge your habits of perception
and reaction, allowing you to gain insight into your own leadership,
its strengths to be built on, and its weaknesses to be made sound.
The brigantine Windeward Bound provides a working metaphor for
an organisational system. It is driven by rope, canvas and human effort
to harness the power of the wind and, ultimately, the sun. Its effective
management demands answers to leadership questions such as:
‘What is the sum total of human energy available in the system?
What proportion of this energy is currently being used? What kinds
of energy (physical, intellectual, psychic, moral, artistic, technical,
social) are represented? What might be done to release this energy
for accomplishing greater goals for the system and the individuals in it?’
Permanent members of the ship’s company will ensure the safety of
the ship and train you in seamanship during the voyage. This will include
sail handling, steering, coastal navigation and general work aloft and
about the decks. As the voyage progresses, you will take increasing
responsibility for leadership and for handling the ship. At the conclusion
of the voyage you will be a competent hand.
Students also have the option of organising their own group adventure
in consultation with the unit chair.
For more information on this unique unit and future sailings please visit
deakin.edu.au/buslaw/gsb/audacious.
‘It has been said “To be a great leader, first you must know yourself”.
I knew that spending a week at sea would certainly be outside
my comfort zone, as I get magnificently seasick! The Audacious
Leadership voyage was not only a journey at sea, but a journey
into the self, I am still reaping the rewards of personal discovery.
This is something I never would have done outside of Deakin’s MBA
program and it was an incredible experience worth every cent!’

GRADUATED 2014
When asked for her advice on further study, Haseda Fazlic has
one thing to say: ‘If you lead a busy lifestyle, have a full time
career and require flexibility – Deakin is the way to go. You are
exposed to the latest business thinking and you can study
overseas and have the flexibility of different study modes
with high quality subject matter.’
Whilst remaining consistently focused on variability, Haseda
boasts a 21-year strong career with the Commonwealth Bank,
including stretches in many different divisions of the business
while advancing to an executive position. She realised she had
the experience but lacked a formal qualification. ‘I wanted to
understand the theory behind it,’ she says. ‘The classroom
learnings allowed me to draw on and utilise my professional
experience and bring the two together which was powerful.’
The experience was extremely positive, she adds. ‘I had the
pleasure of learning from worldly lecturers with a high level of
experience and commercial acumen. The different study modes,
plus quality subject matter was extremely relevant to today’s
competitive business landscape. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at
Deakin and really value what I have gained from the experience.’
With a full-time career in a demanding position and mother of
two young boys, Haseda embraced all the study modes Deakin
offered. She completed some units on campus before moving to
Brisbane for her current position, completing her MBA via
online study and residentials. ‘Creating networks and meeting
like‑minded people – especially with the residentials – is a huge
advantage,’ she says. ‘You will form strong relationships and long
term friendships.’ It is a tough environment but a realistic one,
she adds. ‘We live in a fast paced, rapidly changing, highly
competitive challenging environment. The MBA has prepared
me for that.’ Haseda also valued taking part in a Deakin study tour
to China. ‘It was a wonderful experience; you simply cannot get
that out of a text book.’
In her plans for the future, Haseda will continue at CBA because
so many opportunities surround her, but may study law in the
future as she immensely enjoyed her Deakin experience.
‘The MBA was my long term goal and Deakin allowed me to
achieve it, to work full-time and maintain my family life, caring
for my children.’ She encourages others to take the Deakin
challenge, noting that ‘Deakin played an important part in my
professional career and I have exceptionally fond memories of
my time at Deakin’.
