ODL-675 Inclusive Leadership & Intervening Across Cultures4 semester credits
This course explores culture as a lens of organizational inquiry, and the global context and trends which impact managing diversity. We examine the social psychological perspective of workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion. Students examine Self from a cultural perspective. We review intervention techniques for multi-cultural organizations in trans-national contexts and in single locations with culturally diverse work forces. This includes evaluation of international cultural differences in approaches to human resource management. The course addresses ways that culture can influence the potential for leaders and teams to work in ways that are dynamic, based in values of mutual respect and equal contributions of different cultural perspectives. Students design interventions for situations of their own choosing.
