INTERCULTURAL LEADERSHIP (FT-2524)

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, along with cultural intelligence as building blocks towards developing intercultural leadership competencies. Special attention will be paid to biblical and contemporary examples of leadership practices that are 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.
