Organizational Leadership

  
  
  
  
  • OL 494 Leading Across Cultures


    Today’s leaders must be able to communicate and lead effectively and efficiently across cultures domestically, as well as internationally. This class will demonstrate the importance of understanding culture, leadership, and the interaction between them in different contexts. We are typically familiar with the culture(s) we live in, but what happens when we move across cultures and the rules change? What if we are expected to communicate, collaborate or even lead the ‘culturally different’? What do we need to know to be effective and efficient cross-cultural leaders? This cross-culturally focused course is designed to address these questions, along with many others. In this class we will focus on leadership effectiveness across cultures.
    Credits: 3
