slc 475: capstone for global leadership and team decision making
This course prepares students to demonstrate leadership competencies through the lens of a global mindset. The more students are exposed to new experiences, the more they will be adaptable to the ever changing challenges globally, today and in the future. The course will enhance their ability to articulate and apply their understanding of what it means to practice being a global minded leader today while seeking to be employed in their field of study following graduation. Based on readings, experiences and courses associated with the Global Leadership and Team Decision Making Minor, students will be asked to reflect on the way their course topics and cultural experiences in four countries (United States, Czech Republic, Germany and Austria) compare and contrast the way in which students prior knowledge and understanding of global leadership and teamwork in organizations was to what develops over their cohort experiences abroad.
Primary focus will be on developing the student’s personal understanding for how to lead with a global mindset, as well as how to work in teams with a global mindset. This, in turn, will better prepare them for how to effectively address a situation and be able to articulate why this learning matters and how to apply it in future situations |
