LEAD 330 - Leaders Without Borders

4.00 credit hours

World leaders must navigate an array of domesticand international issues on a daily basis. Their leadership qualities and styles often reflect cultural and social norms as well as their
nation’s political system. The underlying theme of this course is that the skills and behaviors that are perceived as effective leadership characteristics in one culture are not necessarily those that will be effective in a different culture. Students explore the ways in which specific characteristics are valued differently by different cultures. Students also acquire frameworks for assessing how to approach a work assignment in a culture that is not their own. Finally, students consider the effect of globalization on leadership, and define the characteristics necessary to successfully lead in a highly diverse and complex world that challenges them to understand and respond to nationalism, terrorism, trade, human rights, environmental challenges, power and justice, and explore regional leadership issues.
