Leading Across Cultures

Leadership in a multicultural context with a focus on aspects of culture that inform leadership praxis. Topics of study include ontology, epistemology, and axiology - ways of being, ways of knowing, and values - that provide a foundation for intercultural competence. Dimensions such as individualism vs. collectivism, how knowledge is defined and obtained, reciprocity, and primacy of place will be explored in terms of their impact on leadership.
