Intercultural Leadership

Catalog description

This course will address theories and practices for effective leadership in an intercultural context. We will consider biblical examples of leadership, the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership by Kouzes and Posner, and cultural intelligence as building blocks for developing intercultural leadership. Special attention will be paid to biblical and contemporary examples of leadership practices aimed at reconciling cultural dilemmas. Students will be encouraged to reflect on how they have been influenced by significant leaders while creating a plan for their own intercultural leadership development.
