BUS3064 - Cultural Based Leadership
Course Description
“The root construct underlying all positive forms of leadership and leadership development is authentic leadership.”
This 3-day seminar builds a bridge between one’s own cultural sustaining practices and professional leadership development. Increase your awareness of your own cultural values and norms and the culture of your organization and apply directly to leadership and management practices such as time management, resource management, interpersonal communications, developing your own leadership philosophy, strategic planning, employee relations, technology use, and community partnerships.
This presentation will highlight elements of Dr. Mary Hattori’s Chamoru culture to form the foundation of a culturally sustaining leadership within the context of American Institutions. Applying principles from their own culture, workshop participants will explore leadership models congruent with those cultures and learn ways to mobilize their own cultural identity to achieve success and inspire others to do the same.
Participants are guided through activities to promote connections between their own experiences and the seminar content.
