IIE 505 Self-Develop for Intercult Leaders

Leadership development, in general, begins with self-awareness and the ability to articulate an answer to the question: “Who am I and how do others perceive me?” Students should be considering that question as a primary concern in empowering others. This course helps students to define their own leadership style from cognitive, behavioral, and emotional perspectives. Students will integrate conceptual knowledge of reflective practice and self-awareness in the context of ethical action, social justice, and an entrepreneurial approach to leadership. In this course students engage and develop philosophical and conceptual perspectives on action and action research, intercultural communication and social justice. The central aim of this course is to provide students with frameworks for taking a partnering stance to community and organizational development. Co-requisites: IIE 500 and IIE 510.
