CEMS6004: Global Leadership
2024 unit information
This unit addresses how to lead in diverse and multicultural contexts. Students develop a keen sense of their individual strengths and biases and explore how these might enable them to become responsible global leaders. To situate this development, the unit turns to a key challenge for global leaders. To lead innovation means including heterogeneous perspectives, capabilities, and backgrounds. Innovation requires a less rule and more relationship-based approach, which makes it a special case for managing a diverse workforce in a complex environment. It also raises awareness of issues related to openness, sustainability, and inclusiveness for global leaders. Overall, the unit moves from personal perspectives on global leadership via leadership in teams and organizations to leading in networks.
