Leading Across Cultures

How does culture impact peoples’ values, beliefs, and assumptions surrounding leadership? What if our values, beliefs, and assumptions about leadership differ from those we are leading or who are leading us? How can we operate effectively, appropriately, and authentically in such culturally complex situations? How can we adapt our leadership to the cultural context while remaining authentic and retaining our own morals? How can we harness diversity as a strength and strategy for powerful and creative leadership? These are all questions we will explore in this course, which focuses on developing leadership from the inside out – learning to take leadership of ourselves in the face of ambiguity, change, and challenging circumstances and people (hallmarks of an intercultural experience).
