Class Description:
This course is designed for students who wish to develop a comprehensive understanding of leadership and culture. To achieve this goal, the course will use concepts drawn from several academic disciplines and cultural contexts. Students will be expected to integrate these concepts and learn how to translate them from theory to practice. As a result of taking this course, participants will be able to: 1) Define and explain key culture and leadership theories, and current themes in emerging theories. 2) Demonstrate deeper expertise in one leadership theory through leading a 30 minute group presentation and discussion. 3) Synthesize academic, professional, and life experience in a reflective essay regarding personal cultural and leadership influences, using selected models from the course. 4) Demonstrate deeper expertise in one culture and/or leadership theory through completing a critical review of one book selected from the course bibliography. 5) Investigate the cross-cultural leadership experiences of one leader by conducting an interview, analyzing your findings, and documenting your findings and conclusions in a written report. 6) Contribute actively in group discussions of culture and leadership issues. 7) Develop interpersonal communication skills essential to effective cross-cultural leadership through multiple group assignments and activities. 8) Integrate and synthesize your learning about cross-cultural leadership through completing a final case analysis project. This is a course in both cross-cultural and comparative leadership, using examples from diverse cultural and international contexts. The course is being co-taught by two individuals: Professor Gerald Fry, who has extensive leadership experience in the Asia-Pacific region; and Professor Louis Quast, Associate Chair, OLPD, Holder of an Endowed Chair in Leadership with over two decades of leadership consulting experience with diverse organizatons.
