LEAD 860 - Leadership in Global Contexts

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Organizational Leadership

Description:

This course examines complex philosophical and contextual issues related to global leadership. We begin with an examination of this historical influences of certain fundamental epistemic and ontological beliefs of Western, Eastern, African and other cultures. The practice of moral leadership requires attention to particular perspectives of individual leaders and their followers, as well as the various dimensions of culture that inform and influence both the theory and practice of leadership. In this course, we will seek to understand how culture shape moral worldviews and relationships. In addition, we will critically engage with thinkers who offer- individually and collectively- their own normative conceptions for constructing cross-cultural ethics or universal ethics. Finally, students will examine the ways in which leadership theory itself may be epistemically, culturally, ethically and ontologically dependent.
