Responsible Transnational Leadership (STG-MA-ECR-RTL)

STG-MA-ECR-RTL

Description

Leadership delivers or not on its promises. Its purpose is to address the most pressing problems in a society, region, nation, organization, or across them. For leaders, from goverrnment to the humanitarian sector, beyond good intentions, it is about being responsive and empowering human groups and teams in seeking adequate solutions, while overcoming crises, serving humanity, peace, democracy, social justice, human rights, or other core values. When leadership is exercised responsibly, it serves all, including the most vulnerable.

This course goes beyond formalistic leadership which seeks power at any cost for any goal. It embarks participants on a journey about responsible leadership, where men and women respond to the problems of a community, to whom they are accountable for. Weekly, we will explore topics of historical or contemporary significance. Participants will have opportunities to model their leadership skills in class.

The purpose of the class is to explore leadership responsibility. Whether you end up working for public or private organizations, you can have a positive impact. By the end of this course, as students, you will enjoy, support, and integrate responsibility as an ongoing drive in leadership, i.e., know better how to engage people, help solve problems and facilitate an empowering process.
