Designed to empower leaders with the capacity for a global mindset and an ability to lead in multicultural settings
Every day the world becomes more connected through technology, trade, humanitarian work, and shared environmental resources. Strong leadership is an increasingly needed asset, the kind of leadership that can galvanize members from different cultures to respond to a common goal.
The Advanced Citation in Global Leadership from the Faculty of Extension, University of Alberta has been designed to empower leaders with the capacity for a global mindset and an ability to lead in multicultural settings. Learners in this online program will focus on topics such as world views, political and cultural complexity, cross-cultural communication, deliberative discourse, and technological changes.
This advanced citation will be of value to individuals interested in working within a global context and developing leadership skills to draw cultures closer together. Learners come from a variety of industries, volunteer organizations, government sector, and small to large enterprises. Participants must have previously completed at least one post-secondary program (certificate, diploma, or degree) from a recognized institution.
