Leadership Theory & Practice in a Global Environment

A theoretical approach is employed in this course as students analyze leadership and global leadership via peer-reviewed articles, texts, and more than utilize their research as supportive information in their own pursuit to defining leadership in a global environment. Students will examine and participate in various leadership practices and opportunities that they could implement in a global environment. This course will explore the complexities of intercultural communication in a global setting.
